    I have just moved from XP to W7, after avoiding Vista like the plague.

    I am quite happy with W7, seems to be a logical progression on from XP, whereas Vista was an "evolutionary dead end" !

    Well, what problems are you experiencing with Vista that you're expecting Windows 7 to resolve?

    I thought that The difference to Vista and 7 was that 7 was Vista on a Diet, didn't eat all your resources as much, and more stable. I have Vista other than software conflicts which as AVG.Zonealarm and my browsers, Vista hasn't been a direct cause of a problem.

    'My new laptop has Windows 7, its supposed to be more user friendly than Vista, I don't like that'

    PS, Use a half decent browser like Firefox and set it to always download to the desktop.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • When it was released Vista was unfinished and full of holes. Post-SP2 it's a perfectly serviceable OS. The selling of Windows 7 to Vista users as a must-have upgrade is another triumph for the Marketing Department.

    That is user error.

    YOU choose where to download files to on your computer.
  • I would gladly get shot of vista from my laptop and replace it with xp. Every time I see that are you sure you want to do that pop up I want to chuck the thing out of the window.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
  • The only success Vista ever registered was the huge increase in sales to :-

    - Linux
    - Mac's
    - etc

    and the regression for Windows devotees back to WinXP. Even the worlds biggest box shifters couldn't sell it pre-installed. If it barks like a dog, and runs like a dog - it's a dog !

    Win7 is what Vista should have been.
