Works fine on Windows 7.
Vista *IS* a downgrade in my opinion. But unless M$ **** up bigstyle, then Windows 7 is going to be freaking sweet. I've been running the 7000 beta for a few months and I a: Like it better than any version of Vista and b: Like it almost as much as XP.
Why dont I just USE XP still? DX10. I likes my ingame shinies and I get them on W7.
XP = Awesome (ish - it's a M$ product after all)
Vista = Blows big chunks then corrupts your hard drive.
Windows 7 = Not even finished but better in every way than Vista. A good XP replacement.

It should be noted: Windows 7 *IS* BETA software. Some stuff is just plain not FINISHED yet and therefore not everything WORKS. Drivers can be a pain, although 9 times out of 10, the vista equivelant does work, the 10th time it falls over and dies horribly.
But I expect that. Its not done yet.
And it STILL works better than the supposedly completed vista.

Eh? The security crap is the first thing to be killed on any installation of windows. Even XP had it's moments, and had them ruthlessly neutered by anyone with half a braincell. Failing to kill the M$ *security* crap is like, iunno, ratting in a .3 in a T3 ship fitted with random rat loot.
The actual technology between Vista and W7 shares a number of core similarities, but they function very differently. (Otherwise there would be no issues with drivers etc). The hardware management is QUITE different, and I dont mean in the GUI.

Microsoft, one of the largest corporations on the planet, who's business ethics and tactics make Goonswarm look like a bunch of pewling day old n00bs, meet... My frakking delete button!
Do you have ANY idea how much of an operating system it is possible to delete before things start getting really weird?
The way I had my old XP machine, it not only survived having its Boot.ini deleted, but it took a week for me to notice, and only because I was reading the error logs that day trying to find out what thing I had broken to turn my screen upside down. (No, it had nothing to do with the M$ keyboard shortcut, THAT didn't work at all anymore. Turns out that rewriting DLL's can have hilarious effects on your display output).
I've not tried any of this on W7 yet, because I need it to work, and not randomly red screen and reboot.

Yeah, it'll be roughly where Mac OS X and the best Linux distributions were in 2004 
Welcome to idiot-ville, population... you.
This isn't a mac v windows thread so I won't bother listing the functions that Windows has had for ten years that OSX still does not. There's dozens of them.
The fact is, the both do the same thing, in different ways that suit different people doing different jobs.
Smug superiority like that evident in your comment just makes you look dumb.
Saying that something is going to be sweet although it obviously is not is even more stupid.
You're a towel!
