I doubt that Microsoft would see this as a sign that people are clamoring for something better to replace Vista.

[TheZMan]

Anyone have the short-quick feature list for Windows 7?

[Doohickey]

Very cool. Upgraded a machine yesterday.

[MrEdd]

They already knew they had to replace vista (ME the new voyages).

That is why they have rushed Windows 7 out two years early.

I updated an Office product yesterday and was wondering why took so long.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Didn’t Vista just come out not more than 2 years ago, and already its obsoleted by this new thing? It seems Microsoft is making a new OS every year until they finally get one right. What a laugh. There’s no coincidence that MSNBC can’t report news and Microsoft can’t create an operating system.

I started with XP in 2002 and have learned to love it.

Bought a new computer with Vista last month and don't find the operating system to be too different from XP. File system defaults weren't to my liking, but everything can be customized. I'm using a 64bit version and so far all my favorite programs, graphics stuff mainly, have installed and run just fine. It seems to play nice with everything I used with XP.

Of course, having 8GB of RAM doesn't hurt. So far so good.

I’ve been using Vista on three machines for a year and a half with no problems. Is there a good reason to upgrade to Windows 7? What does it do that Vista doesn’t do?

LOL...anything to get past Vista.

[big'ol_freeper]

Let me get this straight. Microsoft takes for ever to deliver Vista..delay, after delay, after delay...and the product is the worst thing this side of Zune...and they rush development of Windows 7 because Vista is so bad....and there are people out there who will download a beta version and have confidence that the final product will actually work. LOL...FOOLS.

[McGruff]

Yeah I was going to try it out but can't access the download servers.

For those who don't like Vista's new interface the is a switch back to XP classic mode. In my business I have to keep up with the latest Microsoft technology so I'm learning to love Vista.

[perfect stranger]

Something to try this weekend.

[antiRepublicrat]

I’m downloading now, getting about 350-450 KB/sec. I’m glad I didn’t hit the initial rush.

I’ve actually heard good things about this so I’m going to try it under VMWare Fusion on OS X.
