LJ, you've curcumvated my point. I like Vista, I just think Windows 7 ought to be a standard SP upgrade to Vista. I know how to get a hold of WIndows XP, I own three copies. I am not complaining about drivers or this or that, just that WIndows 7 should be an SP pack of Vista. I brought up the drivers explanation because Microsoft tried so hard to shove Vista down everybodys throat and just when they finally succeed, they announce they will release a new OS, when just as you said it is not a new OS, merely an upgrade of the current OS. That is my point.
