I find it funny how all the Vista haters are saying W7 is going to be so much better, when in fact the two aren't that much different!

Windows 7 will be welcomed when it gets to retail.
It is tough to use a beta OS on a primary computer. When any problems happen anything beta is the first thing I remove. So while I had all intentions of giving the beta a good workout, within a few weeks Vista was back.
First impressions were favorable, I liked it. Don't care for IE8 but have yet to find a suitable replacement.

Can't wait for TRIM support and the corresponding hardware releases and firmware updates from SSD manufacturers.

Other than that, I don't see anything particularly impressive about the forthcoming release...

Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to #5.

Firefox is absolutely not more secure than IE8. Firefox has had many more reported vulnerabilities, and it does not run in a sandbox like IE8 does on Vista/7. Chrome is similarly secure to IE8, as it also runs in a sandbox and has had a similar number of reported vulnerabilities.

Firefox might be safer than IE, because it is targeted less than IE, similar to how Mac OS X is safer than Windows despite having many more reported vulnerabilities. Personally, I don't leave my security in the hands of the malware developers, and prefer to actually use a secure product.
