New
#11
I thought that 7 was a ground-built OS, or a ground-built kernal, or had SOMETHING that was brand new... Hence the awesome.
Dzomlija has hit the nail right on the head. But what's the problem guys. If you are in the school that says (like me) This is Vista tuned, as it should have been, or, new source code, it is , without doubt, obviously looking like what we have been waiting for. maybe in five years, even faster? But this one satisfies my needs.

Agreed, Vista was a good enough transition for me, 7 will be perfect.
Part of the reason the transition to Vista was so horrible was because many manufacturers failed to get off their asses and make drivers and software for Vista after how many Betas??? Once drivers and software (and hardware for old harware with incompatible drivers) started coming out, Vista wasn't bad at all.
Yah gotta agree there. ati did just that to me. I had their all in wonder pro 128 agp and after nearly a year of fighting with ati to get drivers, (they never did get full support for the wdm module so the tv never did work), I finally relented and got a happauge tv card. I still really like Ati but I feel very angry that they were so very slow and incomplete with their product support for Vista. Its as though they thought that if they'd ignore it long enough that Vista would go away. Well Now there is 7, Hurrah.
I've never liked ATI, I repaired my mom's boyfriend's computer when I was in 4th grade and I had him buy a new ATI card and it was so much trouble. So I learned early on to stick with NVIDIA
So now I'm a Senior in High School and I don't even look at ATI, only NVIDIA. Don't get me wrong though, NVIDIA most certainly has their issues...
Stick with NVIDIA right?
I'm a first time ATI user after being with NVIDIA for a long time. Like most devices, it's the drivers that make or break it. Surprisingly, the card itself is pretty good. Catalyst Drivers do suck a little though. Then again, there have been some Forceware shockers :)
And yes, 7 is a refined Vista. As long as the end result is a good OS, who cares where it comes from?
It's probably the 'mini-kernel' that's the 'new' thing in 7 that people are thinking is built from scratch.
