Because I have been using it for 3 months now and it works, uses less resources and have not had an issue with most of my applications getting them to work, both work wise and at home.
Better experience up front for me, than Vista RTM, SP1, SP2 or whatever...

It has the same security model as Vista. It has the same driver model as Vista. Vista RTM had challenges. Modern Vista really doesn't. Win7 may be marginally faster than Vista (I see a slightly snappier GUI - but I don't see any compute intensive tasks getting done any more quickly); and the graphics are prettier. But it's more like Vista SP3 than the difference between Win3 and Win95; which is what I get the impression that most people are expecting. ________________________________ From: Ziots, Edward [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 2:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: My OS is better than your OS More than ¾ of my applications aren't supported with Vista by there vendors, on top of UAC and all the prompting, major reason why we sticking to XP. Honestly, I used Vista at home, and hated it, lack of drivers, application incompabilities, had to relax a boatload of permissions and security levels just to make some things work ok, or at all. It isn't worth the pain.

I'm curious, what specifically is Windows 7 addressing for you that was a bust in Vista?
