Most of the "Vista is crap" stuff being tossed around is indeed FUD. There may have been some truth to it when Vista was first released almost three years ago -- but it certainly hasn't been true since SP1, and since 3rd-party vendors got off their asses and released proper drivers. I've used Vista since the it was first available to MSDN members 3 years ago, and have used 7 since the beta and RC. 7 does have some nice little usability tweaks -- e.g. the "super" bar and Aero Peek -- but as often stated, it is effectively a tweaked Vista.
It just seems to be considered "cool" to sling FUD about Vista, but spread positive word about 7. It's silly, because there is little significant difference between the two. Heck, you could probably re-release a Vista SP2 install disc with graphics and logos replaced with those from Windows 7... and most users would be very happy with it.
I'm not saying this as a Microsoft fan, either. I'd much rather be using Linux, if it weren't for the fact that my job involves primarily Microsoft software and tools -- and so it's better for my career to keep my knowledge high in that area. But let's keep comments meaningful, and based on actual recent experience with the products involved... rather than slinging FUD about products that we haven't used, or haven't used recently. Okay? (Yes, that request will almost certainly be ignored. But that won't stop me from at least making it.)
