Not by a mile. Windows 7 literally beats Vista to death -- it's a lot snappier and (to me, anyway) a lot more stable.
Let's not forget that it actually runs in 512 MB of RAM, and I can attest to this. I'm an OS X guy by trade and employment, but Windows 7 I can actually tolerate (which blows my mind, really).
- nailer 16y agoMore stable = a service pack. UAC, WPF, etc - all the new stuff - was added in Vista.
- kenjackson 16y agoThere are a fair number of new features though, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_7
- CountSessine 16y agoAgreed. I'd never use Windows as a primary OS (that would just be silly), but I find that I don't hate Windows 7. It's still Windows (still opaque, still overwrought, still not posix, still has a registry), but it's a Windows you can live with.
