From what I’ve heard, Windows 7 is supposed to be a whole new ballgame compared to Vista.

For a beta, its pretty solid.

From what I've heard, it's vista with a new dress and makeup. There's no way this is a complete rewrite from vista. Not in this short of time.

I went with Vista 2 years ago when I had to replace my laptop. What a waste of money! I much prefer the 2003 desktop that runs XP. What they did to Word is a crime.

I need to upgrade the hardware on my desktop, but I am very dubious about buying a new system with Windows 7.
