I got this E- Mail from Microsoft because I am running Windows 7 Evaluation copy for 1 year....

So far it is a very nice operating System, Good bye Vista....

I'm at work at the moment so I don't have my bookmarked pages available. W7 is not an actual new release, but rather an upgrade to Vista. Vista's architecure was security based where W7's is going to start with the Vista foundation but be be performanced focused. The available editions which we have become accustomed to are reported to be changing their content. The identifying names are pretty much the same, but the versions' capabilities have been refined.

In all as I explain to people, the release of W7is quite similar to the release of Win98SE in improving Win98OE.

Personally I haven't found anything wrong with my Vista system and I do forcast the habitual release "uproar" will be present with W7. I say this as I get the impression from talking with users, and reading posts and columns that the XP users are complacent with their systems and are not going to be too responsive and comfortable with any type of change.

I am building a new computer for the new operating system, my first in many years. Everything on my XP computer will move over with no problems according to the compatibility test except Alcohol 120. Skype has minor issues as does my canada.com web based email address both both work even with this older machine so perhaps updated drivers will soon be available.
