Why do people like Windows 7 so much?
-
I like the preview that pops up when you hover over a program on the taskbar. also, when multitasking, the ability to preview before releasing alt-tab.
I dont like, however, that the desktop is shown in the alt-tab list. Is there a way to turn this off?

I doubt you can turn it off. I allows the user to quickly get to the desktop without using a mouse; much like most operations in a Microsoft application.

I understand that and it would be great if it was listed when a full screen app is present and it was not listed when all the windows are currently in window/non-fullscreen. I see your point, but still it would be great to have the option of disabling it. I guess I'll just adjust lol.

Well, if Vista is working well enough for me (no BSOD's, no graphic problems or anything, etc) and I don't really like the Windows 7 taskbar very much... is there any real reason for me to switch to Windows 7?
Absolutely no reason to switch. My wife has an HP laptop which came with Vista Home Premium. It's licensed, works properly and I have an extremely easy to use recovery tool from HP to put it back exactly the way it was the day that we bought it. I do not feel compelled whatsoever to spend $1 upgrading this machine from Vista.
My new desktop machine that I built in July of 2009 ran the 7 Beta and RC builds and is now running a retail copy of Windows 7. Since I had to start somewhere, I just started with 7 and have been totally satisfied with 7 on this machine. And now my work laptop and desktop are both running 7 (laptop is 32-bit enterprise, while desktop is 64-bit enterprise).
So, even though I am delighted with Windows 7...I am perfectly fine with leaving Vista as it is on my wife's laptop.
