>> I seem to recall Rick saying that Win7 is nearly the same as Vista? No doubt I'm mistaken (somewhat). It's late. You can search the archives if desired.<<
Yeah I said Win 7 is like Vista SP3 because it is refined and Microsoft listened to the customers who had legitimate gripes on some fit and finish, and some performance issues. Some people tried it on underpowered equipment and found it painful (in fairness the original specs for a Vista Compatible box were underpowered). Some did not like the User Account Control. Others tried Vista and did not like the UI changes. But most people read that others thought it stunk and were sheep and repeated. Most of the people I have heard complain wanted to find a reason to complain. It kicked Microsoft in the butt and they responded just as I predicted. I have been using Vista for more than a year and adapted and like it a lot. I have several netbooks running Windows 7 on a 1GB of RAM and an Atom processor (not the fastest thing around) and the OS runs fine with several browsers open and even MS Office apps (all pigs). I did the Anytime Upgrade to Ultimate on one and Pro on the other. Sure it is not as snappy as my Vista box with 3GBs of RAM and a fast processor, but it works remarkably well on low powered hardware. VFP apps will run well too as they do not need much RAM either.
