Anyone know if Windows 7 is meant to replace Vista?

i have vista and cant stand it. i have 4 gigs of ram in my desktop and when i first put it in the computer was a lot faster than the 1 gig it origionally had. then slowly it began to slow down and now it takes foreverrrrrrrrr to even boot up. im thinking of switching back to XP. does anyone know how to do this without losing all my info?

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

You can still get XP installed. You can still buy XP too.

I went from Win 98Se to Xp sp1. If I have no need to update I don't update. Windows ME was terrible. Vista is not as good as XP so I'll wait. For that matter i still have a computer running Win 98SE. I'm not updating the hardware or software so why Upgrade?

So in other words if your internet is down, no OS? Lol @ any company who thinks online is anywhere near as reliable and secure as offline yet.

Most of these tech companies don't give much of a shit about the present. MS is just going to rush out Windows 7 so it can escape Vista's reputation.

Many companies are already running virtual OS's with Citrix, granted it is via LAN/WAN connections.

There are online office editors that are currently being used.
Adobe.com - online PDF editor. Everything will be virtual eventually

Talk about fucking stupid. I suppose it's just another way for the uber rich corps to track our every move. That's obviously more important than customer satisfaction.

Yes and no... Its also a deployment and cost of ownership issue. I've always bought three identical computers for my children and even maintaining those three machines are a pain in the ass. I make my son do it now, but it sucks.
