Maybe they hope people won't even try Windows 7 to see how much better it is. That is a great point Michael! Maybe they hope people won’t even try Windows 7 to see how much better it is.

Within the first hour I declared I'd never go back! Am still currently running into some software packages which don't want to install because the OS is not supported (the install script won't even try). Not sure if this is because it's Windows 7 or 64 bit or both. I'm sure that will get worked out. I have noted that the recent 'MAC/PC' commercials have a subtle twist of note. When Vista arrived, they openly mocked the product and the UAC controls, etc. With Windows 7, they have switched their tact to mocking Microsoft for asking us to trust them on this version when we have been disappointed before. - Notice the difference?! They aren't mocking this product at all - but rather trying to taint Win 7 with the history of Vista, etc. That, to me, says a lot. Michael Also converted directly from 32bit XP to 64bit Win 7.
