Is it that much better than Vista ?
it's better than XP and Vista. it's more secure and far more stable. it can also run in XP mode... if you run into a compatibility issue (which I never have). there really is no reason to use XP or Vista anymore.
More secure than XP most definitely, but no more than Vista.
I've had zero stability issues with Vista. Never had a BSOD, only with XP.
XP mode can be run on Vista also using VMWare or Virtual PC.
Hardly impressive to say one has "never had a compatibility issue" when
the OS has only been released for less than a month.
i've been running Beta since it came to Torrents Jan '09... i'd say 11 months on a beta with no compatibility issues is pretty impressive. just cause you waited until release doesn't mean everyone else did
I've been running it since it was legally available for public download, Beta, RC, and Enterprise.
I will not purchase because I have no reason to.
I think it is much better than vista, as many people were not happy with vista Microsoft had to bring out a better operating system, Fast!
nevermind the $29.99 student discount. my friends dad works at microsoft i saw him today and he handed me a copy of Ultimate like that. includes both the 32 and 64 bit version. XD
That's cool dude, I'm not saying it's for everyone. But if you do anything performance intensive, Windows 7 has a much lighter footprint, and therefore will give overall greater performance benefits than Vista.
