Windows 7 Windows 7 X-64 build 7000 Vs Vista SP2 (X-64)

[jimbo45]

Actually I'M now in a bit of a quandary

Vista SP2 improves Vista by quite a lot (even though it itself is only in RC1 stage).

Could be some interesting politics going on at Microsoft between Vista Development and W7 teams. -- Bit of competition always a good idea.

Maybe Vist will be going out with a final flourish -- however probably too late to save the day -- depends now very much on pricing as Vista SP2 isn't the dog the original vista was.

Dilemma also for hardware manufactureres -- unless there is 100% device driver compatability this will cause more griefs at W7 final release time.

If you want to try the public beta of VISTA SP2 - RC1 it's here (proper public Microsoft site -- NOT a torrent etc).
