God, I hope Windows 7 isn’t just a repackaged Vista.

(I haven’t tested it yet)

Unfortunately for the MS faithful, I've heard from some tech analysts that Win 7 is basically Vista SP3. Me, I'm an admitted Linux guy. Actually, I give MS kudos for not making W7 slower than Vista. I can't remember MS ever releasing an OS that was faster and/or less resource hungry than its predecessor. But Linux is still my OS...and less resource hungry than even XP.

I've mentioned this before, but I'll repeat it because it is so remarkable. I have a 3 year old Dell that I just put Ubuntu 9.04 on with the new ext4 filesystem. It now boots from the bios to a sign-on in 15 sec, and from password to usable screen in another 10. I'm amazed.
