I'ts pretty obvious that Vista was a failure and many still have Windows XP after being out for 8 years now. I still own XP and I think it's the best, I've tried Vista and I just didn't like it to much. So Microsoft wants to try to end XP with W7, it looks promising and there is a lot of improvements over Vista but it's really not that much different, it's more of a Vista .5.

So the question is do you think that Windows 7 will be the new Windows XP?

Nope, my experiences with vista and with windows 7 have been quite similar. Its almost like windows 7 is new service pack for vista. If people see it like this, they won't use it.

It doesn't address all the problems that vista has. Still it won't run older programs. Even those that native work in XP. And do you really buy all that marketing speech? :D

Well Windows 7 being released as stand alone system is probably only marketing to get rid of hated brand.

I don't see any serious diffrences in how it operates and FACT you can run hardware with Vista drivers on it further proves it's just a new Service pack.
