Yea I used the beta for some time. Stable, Fast, Almost all the programs I used worked with it. I think the internet really gave vista a bad rap. Now I never used vista, I was happy with Xp. Reading so many good things about windows 7 and Used the beta for a few months, So far seeing nothing but good things about it.

 I think vista users had so many problems, Microsoft should give them a free upgrade to windows 7. IMHO think the die hard Xp users will make the switch to windows 7. I am sure in time I will. Even the Linux geeks are giving Windows 7 some positive comments. Time will tell.

Personally I think that the internet WAAAAY over exaggerated Vistas problems. The problem with Vista is the hardware was not caught up with the software yet when it came out. I would NEVER consider going back to XP after using Vista. I can't even remember the last time my computer crashed with Vista.

I ran several of the Betas of W7 and am now running RC1.  Running 64 bit versions of it and Vista
It seems much more stable than Vista. no blue screen unless I cause it by tweaking my hardware.
Looking foreward to the full version.

It goes much deeper then a simple hardware incompatibility, this has been gone over extensively .

 If that were the case, would MS have dumped billions more into another OS just a couple years later for a major release ?

Here are some release dates.. Maybe they didn't spend that much money on all the other non major releases.

To each his own I guess. It has been rock solid for me. It might have been a little rough before SP1, but since then it has been smooth sailing for me.

Either way though it is irrelevant now because Windows 7 is going to be great.
