So...yeah, I'm feeling kind of lonely as a Vista user..
In my trials with Windows 7, I liked it but as I used it consistently my interest gradually decreased. This is mostly due to the fact that I still run Vista on my two primary computers and run Win7 on two systems I keep to use when I'm not at college.
My point is this: while I understand Win7 is trying to lure those who stayed away from Vista and continued to use XP, as a Vista user I feel like Windows 7 hasn't made me feel as welcome. It does have spit-and-polish but their new features like Aero Shake and Snap don't seem that...functional.
However, at the same time, I haven't really dug down deep into the OS. I know the new HomeGroup features are touted as the next major step in multi-system synergy but since I don't have a large collective of Win7 systems all in one place, I can't really test out the range of these features. For resource-intensiveness, I haven't felt any degree of improvement over Vista (which DID cause a significant performance jump when installed it on my once-XP laptop) but maybe it's there and working in subtle ways. I don't have a netbook but I have heard good things in that department.
All-in-all, I guess what I'm trying to say is Win7 to Vista people is going more lateral than forward. Not saying that's a bad thing because maybe we were never the intended targets anyway (that is MS probably won't freak out as much as they did when XP users held their ground when Vista first touched down).
Now, feel free to tell me I completely missed something.
