Windows 7 surpasses Vista

StatCounter recently said that Windows 7 has overtaken Vista in total market share

Like a merc overtaking a taxi.

Um, Windows 7 has ALWAYS surpassed Vista!

Vista was a dead duck which drowned in an oil spill then ended up on the highway flattened by several trucks then dried out in the sun.

Vista was as useful as a swift kick in the head with a steel toed boot.

lol. Oh, I don't know, it wasn't that bad! On good hardware, tweaked and stripped of it's junk I actually preferred it to XP for the 2 or so years I had to wait for 7.

Still helluvaglad 7 came out when it did though

haha... I know... but everybody loves ripping on Vista! It was one of our favourite kicking blocks at the time!

Bad analogy. I know lots of people where that would be supremely useful.

Oh for them... yes. But not for me personally. I don't like to subject myself to torture.

Yeah Vista was a basket case like Windows Millennium

I loved vista, and I was running it on a p4 3gig with 2gigs of ddr1 ram. never had a problem that I dont still have with windows 7. if you knew what you were doing, you should have been fine

Windows 7 is vista with 2 years more development time. That's what you get when you insist on a product which isn't ready to be launched yet.

Yep. And the proof is in the version number - 6.1

I support you 100%, been using Vista Ultimate on P4 3Ghz, 2GB RAM, 160GB, since 2007, I never had any problem with Vista and I've looked at Win 7, it's just similar to Vista.

Vista never surpassed millennium... or 98...

+1 from me as well. I think the biggest complaints about Vista came from people who didn't know how to switch off UAC. Also a lot of people tried running it on old h/w, which was a mistake.
