Re:Vista is just ok (Score 1)

I've also been dual-booting Vista64 and Ubuntu amd64 on my laptop for some time. Both OSs have a few stability issues, but both have continued to grow more stable over time.

My issue with Vista is not its stability, but rather its performance and sheer size. I hope Win7 will provide more disclosure to the end user as to what the subsystems of the OS are, what they do, and whether or not they are needed and can be done without. A good OS should be able to cater to different user levels by offering progressively advanced methods of configuration and customization, and Microsoft seems to have been moving away from that.
