Several UK businesses that had begun to upgrade their systems to Microsoft's Vista OS are switching to Windows 7 before the installation is complete.

In the next year, I look for vista to become microsoft red headed step child. In 5 years, IT techs are going cringe when they hear the name "vista".

Anyone here remember windows Millennium Edition (ME)? Well, I look for vista to go the same route as ME.

I still have Windows ME installed on one of my old machine which I don't use anymore but I sure did use Win ME for quite some time before Windows XP was launched. Then came Longhorn, then vista and now Windows 7.

I have used windows 7 in beta, rc and RTM status and now the full Public Release.

It is a much more mature product than Vista was when it was released.

It is a great product.

Has anyone else tried it yet??
