I'm not suggesting that at all. I think W7 is arguably the best OS Microsoft has released (except maybe for Win2k). At the time of Vista Microsoft was managing 2 seperate Kernels, one for consumers and one for servers. The 6000 build Vista was based off was (IMHO) a more bloated XP build. They made a great move by consolidating to their Server kernel. Windows 7 reflects this in its speed and stability.

Vista SP1 and Server 2008 shipped with the same kernel: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463415 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463415 MS has also very explicitly said that the W7 kernel is built on top of what they did with Vista: http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2008/05/ms-no-new-kernel-for-windows-7-same-requirements-as-vista.ars http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2008/05/ms-no-new-kern... W7 is nothing more than an evolution of what they did with Vista. Vista and W7 have far more in common with each other than either does with XP.

> Vista (IMHO) had a rotten core ... I think W7 is arguably the best OS Microsoft has released You are overly negative on Vista and overly positive in Win7. I think you fell for the hype. The differences between them are minor.

Vista shipped with 6.0.6000. Build 6000 = BAD Vista SP1 RTM shipped with 6.0.6001. Build 6001 = GOOD http://apcmag.com/microsoft_replaces_vista_kernel_in_sp1.htm http://apcmag.com/microsoft_replaces_vista_kernel_in_sp1.htm
