Just Vista SP2, really...
Lots of truth in this. Most of the praise for Win7 seems to me less about Win7 itself than as a swipe at Vista. In fact little that people criticize in Vista will change in Win7, it's just that Vista "took one for the team" by forcing driver developers to catch up, for app developers to rearchitect so their users wouldn't have to deal with UAC, and for going through an era relatively slow-moving hardware performance improvement. These situations will all have improved by the time Win7 comes out, making it seem more architected to the times than Vista was. Why am I writing this here? I could blog this and get paid for it.
