Vista is still alive here...
"Vista definitely improved"

Vista-preinstalled SP1/SP2 Just Works, so I have no immediate plans to upgrade to Windows 7. Right now, I don't want to tempt fate.

I don't see why people get all emo over Vista's UAC. It doesn't bother me.

Yes, everyone says that Windows 7 is better than Vista SP2. I don't deny that.
