That's where you're wrong. Windows 7 is the money maker for Microsoft. They're gonna make a few billion dollars selling the same product over again. Sure, it's better. But they could have done the same updates to Vista in a Service Pack. But that wouldn't have made them enough money.

Unless you're running XP and going straight to 7, I wouldn't really see to much point in going to 7 from Vista. Sure it's DirectX 11 and what not, but how many games really utilize that right now? At all?

As much as I like keeping up to date with things, I don't see games getting too far ahead of themselves in the recent future. I mean you've got Bioshock 2 coming out, Assassin's Creed 2, things of this nature - but let's face it, the consoles need to get our games too - and the 360/PS3 aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Hence, graphically, I feel like our games are likely at a point of standing still with only slight improvements here and there for the next year or so. DirectX10 will probably suit you well enough for a fair while, if you've got Vista and are running everything fine.

Granted, I'm talking about actually paying for it.

DirectX 11 is not Windows 7 exclusive. Vista will have DirectX 11 too.

Personally, I will be upgrading from Vista to 7. For one, I only have an OEM copy of 32Bit Vista Home Premium. I want to get 64Bit Windows 7 Ultimate Retail.

Im doing the exact same thing. Is it the retail one where you can install it on like 5 pcs?

only bad thing about the xp mode, is your cpu has to support chip-level virtualization. So old cpu's do not really support that, but was a good idea for them to add it for people to play with.

just use virtualbox and your old xp disc if your cpu dosnt work with the xp mode on 7

Do you realize you just made another windows 7 vs ... thread ?

There are alot of windows 7 related threads here, why don't just make a big one and call it : "Windows 7 Discussion and help thread" ?

Ontopic: I'm still going to keep my vista until 7 has some decent driver/hardware and software support.
