True which is why Vista is a terrible OS. But by difference you mean just looks and interface. Background wise, Windows 7 is much more superior to Vista, but both fail in comparison to XP and the years it took them to get it 99% effective.

you were the one that said you didnt like the interface of vista. :P

you wont like windows 7 either if thats the case.

so should I even check out vista ? I am quite content w/windows 7.

no, no reason to go back to vista when you have windows 7. its a tweaked version of vista and there for its better.

just saying that if you have vista sp1 on your computer now there is no reason to run and get 7.

Everyone I talk to says 7 is much better. You sound like a computer guy. B is just one of those people that uses it to look at his pictures and surf the internets. Don't listen to him. If you like 7 you won't like Vista.

its hogs to many resources and is to bulky. just saying that its not the difference from windows 7 that many people seem to think.

not for the general consumer it isn't.

the main an important difference is its ability to run faster and lighter on older home and business computers.

I'll disagree with you on this all day long. Why don't you go back to what you really know which is cars and bbing. Leave the nerd stuff up to us.

That is the main and important difference.

P.S. Im not saying vista sp1 is better then windows 7. it isnt. its hogs to many resources and is to bulky. just saying that its not the difference from windows 7 that many people seem to think.

wtf - I love the interface on windows 7 lol - this thread just shows how much of a change I gave vista i guess.

pretty much what everyone did. first impressions are huge and microsoft fucked up big with vista. it took about a year and a half for them to really get vista the way it should be. but by then everyone had just decided to wait for the next version (windows 7) to come out. i cant blame anyone for thinking that way.

but if you really look into it, you will see that windows 7 is built on the same platform at vista and pretty much just tweaked a few things. windows 7 is more similar to vista SP1 then any other Microsoft OS have been in the past.

well i hate to brake it to you but windows 7 is almost identical in terms of interface and setup.

its main difference like i said is that its not a resource hog. it can be run on older computers that vista cant.

Maybe so, but 7 can be used more on a server type basis whereas Vista cannot. That is the main and important difference.

Mainly one thing I didn't like was the way it was setup. Not everything was it the usual place and I had to search for it. The interface isn't user friendly.

Yes I have used Vista sp1 and I couldn't stand it. Either way windows o/s has too many issues in the newer versions.

so you havent used windows 7.

have you ever used vista sp1 or just vista? because vista was a piece of shit. sp1 changed all that. windows 7 is vista sp1 on a diet. on a fast computer (anything over $500 bucks today) the difference in speed is hardly noticeable. windows 7 big advantage is that it can be run on older computers.
