I am going to wait a little longer before I upgrade to windows 7. Which means I will totally bypass Vista, as I still run XP ... why did they need to make another version of windows after XP? Ah that is right, money.

No, there's always reason for new things. If the scientists of old had thought, "oh, our current science is good enough, let's not bother", then we would have never discovered that the earth was round, electricity, antibiotics, and the theory of relativity. They made another version of windows after XP because they didn't think that "oh, our current operating system is good enough, let's not bother making another one", they thought, "yes, XP is great, but let's make a better one!" If they had thought the former, then Apple would have taken over the world with the Mac OS, or maybe Linux would have taken over the world.

What if the scientists had amnesia and forgot that XP was good, and than made a new OS called vista, which was just horrible, gives no control to the user, and does not show you a picture of how fragmented your CPU is?

And I'mall for linux taking over the world. Freeware FTW!

Vista primary attraction is that it is better looking than XP. Microsoft tried to put all sorts of other changes in, to bolster security and stuff, but in the end, the only reason you got Vista was because it looks good. Which is fine, because Vista only has problems in that UAC is annoying (can be disabled), and it's slower than XP (which was unnoticeable if you got a new PC).

Some people will never leave XP despite 7 improving over Vista.

[awesomedrako]

They will have to eventually... THEY WILL SEE THAT IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH SOON ENOUGH!!!! *mad gibbers*

Yeppers. Microsoft will stop supporting XP and eventually games will only be playable on Vista and 7.

Why do people still defend XP? It had its time as a great OS, and now its time for 7. When XP was released, how many people still defended Windows 98?
