Anyone know if Windows 7 is meant to replace Vista?

I've heard it's MS's next full-fledged OS. If so and it's good I might just skip Vista. Hopefully it's not a resource hog, and doesn't partition RAM over 3 gigs to system resources.
 
I heard they're already looking past Win 7 and toward an operating system that is completely different from anything they've written before codenamed Midori......
 
I would wait,I still use xp and have a new service pack that i just got two days ago.... I like xp over vista...... but yeah I would wait just a bit longer.
 
It'll just be Vista with some cosmetic changes.

They have to get it out soon cuz Vista has a major bad name attached to it and turning into the next Windows ME. MS created a big clusterfuck and they're scrambling to get a new ver out so people will finally leave their xp's.

My GF's laptop came with Vista and it's a complete piece of shit. I'm installing the service packs and such now. Does it get any better?
 
Windows 7 is most likely just a code name. As Longhorn was, and became Vista.
I use XP Pro SP2. Tried Vista Ultimate x86 SP1 - didn't play Crysis nearly as well as XP. Will eventually try Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 as a dual boot.
Midori - haven't heard of. Heard of Mojave (really Vista) - which is a Microsoft gimmick to trick people into liking Vista.

You can expect every next gen OS to use more and more RAM. DDR2 is so cheap now, who cares? 4gb Corsair dual channel DDR2 800mhz for $67 after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184

Googled Midori (Windows 8?) I'm skeptical: http://www.infoworld.com/archives/e...repares_for_end_of_Windows_with_Midori_1.html
 
Vista sucks. It is the only thing holding me back from getting a new laptop. I have it on my work lap top and I happen to not like it very much

Vista works fine for me. After I figured out how to disable the user account garbage, it's just like an updated version of XP.

Of course I don't do anything on the computer anymore except surf the web and use it for minor photoshop stuff. Oh and the basic word processing and other office applications.
 
Windows 7 is just a rebadged vista, Microsoft is just going to do a upgrade and release to try to get rid of the hate for Vista.
