As a sysadmin, who has, in the past 6 years, had to deal with administering the following:
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7
Windows Server NT, 2000, 2003, 2008 (also various Server App Kits)
Redhat 7.2, 8, 9, Core 1-9, Scientific Linux 3.0-5.2
Allow me to put it like this:
Imagine that Vista never happened. Imagine that Microsoft took the lessons from XP, and generated an OS that was an improvement in almost every way, without
taking what it was that made XP such a popular operating system.
That's Windows 7. It's what Vista *should* have been.
I am honestly thoroughly pleased with it. Based on my initial trials, I've halted my enterprise's rollout of Vista 64, and have planned a jump straight
to Windows 7.
