Lots of people who are testing the various Windows 7 builds have already reported that Windows 7 is faster and snappier than Windows Vista, and some even say that it approaches Windows XP. Apparently, web browsers in particular will benefit from running on Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista SP2. BetaNews ran tests of all the major browsers on both Vista SP2 and Windows 7, and concluded that in general, browsers are round and about 12%-18% faster on 7 than on Vista.

Right. And can I run Office, uTorrent and other frequently-used programs without hacks
Fsckwit. Microsoft Office suffers the same tendency to bloat as the OS it runs on. If you want to ask if you can run your piece of sh!t apps on another platform as well as the platform they were designed to run on, then NO.
If you want to run Office apps, download a torrent, and perform other frequently-performed tasks then the answer is a resounding YES.

Right. And can I run Office, uTorrent and other frequently-used programs without hacks (don't even think of mentioning WINE as that POS barely works half the time)? Oh wait...it can't.
Sure, Microsoft can and ought to do a better job streamlining its O.S., but 7 is getting there, slowly. Give it time, and perhaps you'll be pleasantly surprised.
