Vista is basically overridden with security programs. If you were a child, you couldn't really do anything in Vista unless you knew the password.

A Macintosh-like feature that I despise.

Plus, the fact that every time I want to play something, the stupid security program makes me waste 5 minutes just so I can type in the freaking password and waste another 5 minutes to execute the program. It gets VERY annoying.

Personally, XP may be by far, my most favorite out of all Windows programs.

I've seen 7, but I've never used 7. But looking at it, I'm just gonna have to wait until I can get a new computer so I can get 7, and then, I can judge it. But right now, my present computer has XP, and I still like it.

What do you mean by being 'used to it'?

7 is like all the great stuff from XP and all the security from Vista with none of the problem of either.

But, isn't it the same thing as other programs, except that thing where you can share files with other people, and other exclusive Windows 7 s***?

Before I continue, can you stop calling an OS a program? It make it seem insignificant, and though it is technically a program itself it is quite important as it basically bridges the gap between the hardware and you.

Which brings me back to Operating Systems in that they are more or less the same in function but different in implementation and features. I don't personally own a Windows 7 machine so I can't really name specific features unique to it. I've only used XP and Vista regularly.

Yes, yes, I'm actually just trying to verify if these kinds of things are OSes. xD I thought the OS was just the actual hard drive of your computer.

Windows 7 is a glorified Vista. Not much better, but not much different.

I wonder when they'll put an Aero theme on XP and then call it a new OS

Whaaaat.
It doesn't look much different cosmetically, but trust me, 7 is much better and different when it comes to efficiency.
