I would also agree that Vista looks abandoned.

Anyone remembers that poor Windows ME ?
Vista kinda reminds me about it.

On the outlook it might be true, but please look at the technical details (kernel side and other lower side changes) then you will see that Vista and ME won't share anything in common. ME was just an userland update, a failed one where Vista changed a lot of things and for example the driver stacks etc. are same in W7 as in Vista.

No, you got me wrong.

Even though ME was just a "updated version", MS released it as "New OS Version" (at least looked like that to the end-users).

So I was refering to the "abandoned" comment from Mew, because it seems that very soon, win7 will completelly replace/push away Vista.
Quite what happened to ME, after a rather short lifetime.

Oh, indeed. But ME was still old technology (98 based) and people didn't want to move to Windows 2000 at fast pace. So Vista -> W7 move will happen much quickly as there as the base for Vista and W7 are same (of course there will be some XP fanatics that will keep telling themself lies, but we don't have to listen those ).

I remember... the Windows ME (ME = More Errors) edition. This release was a really pain in the a... I think Vista is far better people are giving it credit for, but that is my opinion.

What I am really interested in: are there any differences in WMC7 compared to Vista+TV Pack?

I don't mind Vista as long as you have a PC able to run it properly. I think the changes in Windows 7 could of been released for Vista as a service pack as Windows 7 really is just a knee jerk reaction to the criticism that people gave Vista and instead of addressing those issues they have abandoned the OS and released Vista+ aka Windows 7. They should of developed the OS but instead it's the new Windows ME. Anyone who paid £200 for Vista Ultimate would be pretty cheesed off in my book to find they paid for a lemon.

You know that i am one of those "fanatics".

But after i've been testing the latest builds of Win7, i am quite sure that it will replace WinXP, at least on the HTPC's.
The ServerPC might stay WinXP for a little longer.

In case you haven't heard from Vista onwards the SMB2.0 protocol is used for the network sharing, giving a huge performance boost on 100/1000 networks when it comes to file transfer speeds. SMB 1.0 was done in Win 3.11 days That would already be huge benefit on the server OS upgrade (if you need to share files from the server )
