For all 'Best Vetted O/S Ever' crowd out there, after playing around with
Windows 7 I've come to realize that Vista really was Windows Me ver 2.0 all
along.

That's it, I'm upgrading next week. I've been putting it off far too
long by the sounds of it.

For me Windows 7 is the best desktop OS from MS ever.
I have been running it since the beta and have had zero issues (apart
for no *complete* drivers from my HP all-in-one printer).
I have 2 Pro and 1 ultimate due to be delivered on release date. The
only time I have even ordered software ahead of its release date. Mind
it was a really good deal ordering so early.

Actually, it was just Beta 3 ...

Windows 7 Beta was the first viable "Vista" Release Candidate.

At least we can laugh about it now.

Although I've resisted the Vistaization process, 7 is a much more palatable
Vista - smarter, friendlier, more usable. I'm hesitant to say I like it,
but I do.

At least now I won't have to listen to the "vista is better" crowd anymore.
Those guys are annoying. (You know who you are...)

Well... Vista *was* better than Millenium Edition. <g, d & r>

At least ME could remember what my default printer was.

:-)

Haven't had that experience on Vista -- but then, I only ever had one
printer, so maybe I made it too easy.

I heard it was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize while still in beta
