Just a quick aside, it hadn't sunk in until yesterday that Windows is pretty much the last standing non-Linux operating system now that Apple also uses Linux.

Apple is based on FreeBSD and NetBSD which is an implementation of UNIX. Linux is also an implementation of Unix. But they have different goals and philosophies.

I bought my laptop with Vista Sp1 on it and tweaked as much as possible, after installing Windows 7 with no tweaking on separate partition with the exact programs installed I can not go back to Vista. Vista boot slower and it feels slugish to use compared to Windows 7.

I have been happy with Vista but in my opinion Windows 7 is a much better user experience.

Even Linus Trovalds the creator of linux gives windows 7 the thumbs up ;) [blogs.zdnet.com...]
