windows 7 is like the XP of the ME.
It's what Vista should've been!
It's sad because if Vista didn't have so many problems , then Windows 7 would have new features and stuff , instead of just being a fully optimized Vista
i've used 64bit vista on my gaming pc since the day it came out and i never had a single problem with it. since the day it was released it has been stable, fast, and works nearly flawlessly. i do a lot of gaming and some 3d modeling and texture editing.
at one point i actually went back to 64bit xp when my hard drive crashed and i couldn't find my vista disc. the pc actually ran SLOWER with 64bit xp then it did with 64bit vista.
if your having problems with vista, then maybe instead of crying that vista is a bad os you should take a step back and look at why it isn't working right for you and fix it. its called upgrading, if something doesn't work properly then its your own fault for not upgrading it, not vista's fault.
driver issues? replacing that old junk with newer better stuff.
running slow? add more ram, or more cooling, or a better cpu.
could also try cleaning out your pc so it isn't cluttered with all kinds of junk running in the background.

In all honesty i never had many problems with Vista, but when i got my laptop and it came with the free upgrade option and i installed Windows 7 i have never looked back, all the functionality of Vista, with imho a fraction of the resource usage..
so if you like what Vista does to your machine, you will love Windows 7!
