In late October, Microsoft announced the beta of the second service pack for Windows Vista and Server 2008. This beta was limited in audience, and today Microsoft has fixed that: it opened up the beta for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, and coming Thursday, it will be opened to the general public. The releases will be distributed via TechNet.

...and, as someone who has been testing both windows 7 and vista sp2 i can tell you that even in beta form sp2 installed vista feel snappier than before. and windows 7, well, it just rocks, people are not going to be disappointed. well MS haters will be, since they will have one less thing to hate about 
Well, I think people don't hate MS because Vista sucks (which it does actually). People hate MS because of MS' business conduct and ethics (or lack of).

I dont hate MS, I hate their substandard products. While MS certainly ain't no altar boy in terms of ethics there are many, many companies with worse ethics (it's not like MS negligence caused a gigantic chemical leak that killed 15000 of people or anything) so it's almost lame to hate them for that.

hush the both of you. the fact is microsoft IS doing some preformance tuning in SP2. http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1745
now as for why you would by windows 7 even if they fixed up vista's speed issue and resource issue is simple. new features, changes to the way it handles SSD's, interface, better 64 bit support, etc...
