Win7 or Ubuntu, but no more Vista, eh?

That's not for anyone else to decide, but you.
Where I'm sitting there's nothing wrong with 'Vista'.
"Asta la vista", or something like it.

But technically, Windows 7 is NOT a new operating system. It's been said
that Windows 7 is an update to Vista. Hence, we should not have to pay for
an update to an OS that has been problematic and not had the promised
features that are now in Windows 7.

Very interesting. So, how much different Win7 is from Vista? Is it at
least as different as Vista was from XP to justify the non-free upgrade?

Technically, Windows 7 is a new operating system. It doesn't matter what's
been said. Microsoft said it's new and it's new. If you don't want to pay
for it, then stick with what you have.

You no like what you have, speak with Alias and he will set you up with that
INFERIOR Ubuntu that nobody likes.
 
I don't think so. I upgraded my Vista Home Premium 64-bit 4GB laptop from
Vista SP2 to Windows 7 Ultimate over the weekend and I don't really notice
much difference. I got my copy at a Microsoft "New Efficiency" launch event
a week ago.

The new way to set up a home network looks cool but it requires that all
computers be Windows 7. I only use Vista's "sleep" for the most part so a
faster bootup and shutdown means nothing to me. I've never had an issue with
Vista myself, but I didn't begin using it until a year ago either, so I
didn't have any early adopter pain. UAC should be better because it claims
to treat all user-initiated activity as OK (I clicked it, so just do it.)
and it only pops up the prompts for software-initiated changes. Supposedly
29% fewer UAC prompts.

It feels like how Windows 98 was a 3,000+ bug fix to Windows 95.

FWIW,

Ray
