Even computer amateurs can tell you that Windows 7 is a vast improvement over Vista, no brainer there.

However, I have not determined that Windows 7 is a vast improvement over XP. XP wasn't a vast improvement over Windows 98SE until after service pack 1A. I have Windows operating systems from Windows 286, stayed with Win3.11 wfw until Windows 98, then jumped to XP SP1A. I also have experience with Win NT 3.5.1, 4, and 2K. I have put my own systems together from pieces bought from computer fairs. I still have a 486 running, first of the VESA local buses.

Today, I don't have the time to spend on computers as I have in the past, so Linux has always been on the back burner, and Macs, well I could never find specific files, such as simple bookmarks, but that was pre OS-X days.

XP very rarely crashes on anything, more noticeable on shut down on non-responsive Microsoft products. Other than those very rare occasions, XP is solid.

I do not appreciate Windows 7, designed for the dumb user. I rather organize my own file folders thank you, and do not like the new Start menu. I like the small icons on my quick launch bar, not the bloated spaces in Windows 7. Windows 7 has so many incompatibilities and inconsistencies it is not settling, to the point I don't know what I get. Programs that Windows 7 run on some machines, will not run on others. No Windows Classics option - Microsoft way or too bad...

The conclusion I am coming to is that Windows 7 is really Vista 2.0. No sir, I do not like Windows 7 very much
