    Well I can name a few others, that's not to say 7 isn't better in almost every aspect though... although 7 is Vista with a bit of under the hood tweaking and a reskin

    Other things in Vista i found to be better is Games Explorer at least in the Vista one you could edit it making it somewhat useful in 7 they removed the editing features, I mean sure you can still do it in 7 with 3rd party apps, also 7's WMP wouldn't allow you to edit mp3 tags for some reason.

    Edit: oh one more... my tray icons dont go missing like once every 2 months forcing me to mess with windows 7 to get em to work again

    Its all about XP

    I honestly think that windows 7 will become good to use by the time the next OS comes out. I am actually starting to like vista and the way i set it up it makes me feel like im using an XP computer sometimes.

    i only have 512 mb of ram and it runs ok with it even though they say you need one gig. my computer is only made for exploring the internet but since i downloaded vista, idk it seems easier to watch videos without much skipping. that and i am using google chrome

    Then the Linux user rides in on a unicycle, only he's covered in faeces and bile and he's like "I want to install this piece of software, better open a bash prompt and enter an entire paragraph of moonspeak in order to compile the source and do something every other OS is capable of doing in three to four clicks".

    Not that I'm biased or anything, but it's really simple. If you can't manage it, maybe it's you who's autistic?

    And yes, I can get it to work just fine on my hardware.
