I personally love the continual changes. I like Vista and 7 for the exact reasons why some don't like it. I like learning. When things don't work properly, I enjoy figuring out why and conquering the challenge.

Sure, Vista and 7 are a little different from XP, but that is the fun.

Vista has been incredibly stable for me - I have/had 7 Vista boxes - no issues whatsoever. My company software and network has never run so smooth. XP machines with minimal RAM never worked good - too slow for multitasking. Not until Vista forced everyone to RAM up their boxes did Windows come to life.

It took me 2 weeks to get 7 to install on my notebook - but I dam sure wasn't going to let that little box beat me. Finally figured it out. It was a strange one. Not until I used Darkin's Boot and Nuke to completely erase the old drive would it take 7. Using windows to format (Quick and Standard) never did the trick.

So, 7 taught me another lesson about computers and hard drives.

Thank you Microsoft - I enjoyed the challenge. Can't wait for 8.
