Windows Industry analysts differ on the importance of shipping Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system before the 2009 holidays, but agree that the release of the OS needs to be swift and smooth to avoid the sins of Vista's past.

Given the undelying changes MS did in Vista - they did a decent job but the UI has some glaring issues especially with Explorer. Also that MS didn't bite the bullet with Vista releasing x64 only and you have quite a lot of market confusion.

I hope that Windows 7 will be able to address these issues combined with some fat trimming and removal of obsolete compatability layers.

I like Vista but I will be happy to be able to move to something more User Friendly whilst retaining the app compatabilities I depend upon.

Then there will be Haiku which will be my alt OS of choice.
