I agree Vista is awful. I swapped out Vista for win7 and am glad I did.
Did the full reformat, etc to get rid of all traces of Vista. Some Vista
computers purchased within the past 2+ years are actually old XP
machines that the stores upgraded to Vista. That may actually have
caused some issues seen by folks.

This laptop runs Vista Home Basic. It's a little different from XP, but
not really all that much. Win7 (Pro, on my much more powerful work
machine) is different again, and I like it much better than Vista, but it
sure takes some getting used to.

Going from one version of Windows to a newer version *is* an upgrade,
by definition, regardless of whether you consider the newer version to
be better or not.

In my view, Windows XP was very good, Vista was better still, and
Windows 7 is the best of the three. However my views have nothing to
do with the fact that going from one of the first two to a later one
is an upgrade. And I'm not trying to persuade you that your view of
which are better should be the same as mine.
