Microsoft's original plan was to release Windows 7 three years after Windows Vista, which would put the release date somewhere in January of 2010. Microsoft already made it clear that it would ship sooner, before the holiday season, but we've now got what is most likely the official release dates. Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing at the end of July, with the actual release date being set for October 22 - 2009, that is.

Hang on here. XP drivers are *for* XP. WTF are you trying to do loading them onto Vista? If there's no Vista drivers, then complain and bitch to the hardware manufacturer. That's NOT Microsoft's problem.
UAC problematic? I've had it turned on for 15 months now and had no real issues with it to be honest. Sure, it pops up from time to time, but it's not the overbearing hassle that some of you guys are trying to make it out to be.
Slow? I have XP and Vista on my machine (guess which one I don't use) and I've noticed bugger all difference for the vast majority of times that I have booted into XP. If there are differences, they're so slow that no human can accurately, and reliably tell them apart on a consistent basis.
It just seems that there's a bunch of Microsoft haters out there who want to push their [insert distribution choice] Linux use onto others. These users are so rabid, and so blind to Linux' issues (or maybe it's a deliberate ploy, since I've found most Linux users cannot accept the fact that their choice of o/s has some pretty glaring problems), that'll gloss over any Linux issues and bash anything they don't like, because people are stupid enough to believe their drivel.
Some of the BS arguments that I'm hearing about Vista are just plain and utter rubbish.
