Windows "Windows 7 will be more than just a better interface. Under-the-hood changes will allow chips from Intel, Nvidia, and Advanced Micro Devices to ratchet up Windows 7 performance above previous Microsoft operating systems. Microsoft on Wednesday said it has finalized the code for Windows 7, set to ship with new PCs starting October 22. Improvements will include how Windows handles multitasking, graphics acceleration, and solid-state drives."

Vista was that "re-engineered" version, and it was a fiasco. They had to do it and they did. They dropped interesting feature like winFS and the time machine like feature, but they did work hard. It was like KDE4.0, something to start with, but not the end of the road. OSX 10.6 will be more stable than those two, but mostly because they did not reinvent the wheel, they just looked at it to see what is obsolete, what is not perfect and what resources don't need to be present on some system.


Volume Shadow Copy Services (aka Previous Versions) was not dropped from Windows Vista.
