Might I suggest: the fact that it doesn't have "Vista" on the label? Don't get me wrong, Win7 is a great advance over Vista -- I'm using it exclusively at home and have been since the beta, but the only differences from Vista (whch I use on my work laptop until tomorrow) that I encounter day-to-day are the superbar and the smoother processing (see Russinovich's video about detangling the scheduler that was passed down from times long forgotten). If you can't put your finger one a reason, I suspect the reason has more to do with a (subconscious) attitude about Vista that you don't have about Win7 (and Vista had a *lot* of social baggage from the start that was never properly handled).

I have a big test box with 4 different OS partitions, but I only booted Vista when I absolutely had to. However, my Win 7 experience has been significantly better. I find that I'm actually CHOOSING to boot Win 7 when I start up my test box. I'm not sure I can put my finger on exactly what's different, but it has certainly made it a lot more pleasant to test drivers. -- Tim Roberts, [email protected] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
