But I can't wait for your first impression!

[Samuel Sanchez]

I disagree about the layout. it looks cheap and I find it harder to navigate, my front page is cluttered with crap I don't need or want on the front page.

I mean I understand that 7 is alot better, but I personally think Vista runs great enough that I don't need to upgrade. It takes 5-6 minutes for all the delayed processes to load before everything runs smoothly. Though it runs fine with 4 GB of RAM. Also, I have Norton which could be the cause to why it's sometimes slow loading but it's a good anti-virus otherwise. Also web browsing and GIMP run pretty well. Also there are somethings better I like about Vista, like WMP 11 and the Sidebar.

[LilProveInn]

Is good if you do know how to configure it, but 7 comes great right from stock, only like 3 tweaks and runs faster than XP.

[K83b2]

Vista works great.
