[QUOTE=mrbloog;19500515]Uh, Windows Vista was a failure at launch, not a failure overall. Just to update ya, Win 7 is based mostly off of Vista.[/QUOTE]
Woops, my mistake.
Also, Vista is a branch off of Windows 7's early beta code.

I don't know where you got your facts, The original Blackcomb, based on the Windows XP source code, was scrapped, and Longhorn's development started anew, building on the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 codebase, and re-incorporating only the features that would be intended for an actual operating system release.

My memory is stuffy. I can't remember most of my early childhood and crap like that either.
I used to be just as ignorant as the OP when it came to XP vs. Vista. I'm still glad I skipped Vista and waited for Windows 7, but some of Vista's improvements were stunning compaired to XP.
The only part about XP that I like better than VistNetworking; It's just easier to do in XP. In Windows 7, I'd connect to my router via Ethernet cable, and it would give me "No Internet Access" bullshit with the yellow triangle in the taskbar, for no reason. After a few reboots, it stops being such a cunt, but damn... the shit's still annoying. XP's networking "just worked". I miss that about XP.

Strange, it's been the opposite with me. Also, getting all my computers to see each other over the LAN was a pain in the ass in XP but a breeze in Vista / 7.
