      I got my free windows 7 in the mail today.

      For some reason they sent me 2 identical copies...

      To tell you the truth I'm not exactly sure what windows 7 really is... I know it's microsoft's latest OS, but didn't vista just come out? It seemed XP lasted forever...

      I checked the wiki, but I really don't understand how this is better. I really have no problems with vista. From my experience vista's just as fast on my new computer as XP was on my old one. Any explanations?

      Vista has a lot of backenf problems and security holes. Windows 7 isn't a new operating system, it's vista minus the holes in the os. It's still got all the inherent problems of windows. Vista didn't just come out, xp was just out for a very long time. The average turn around of new operating system is about a year.

      It's still got some holes, it's got a major problem with security. Luke vista, it's got a comprehensible security system, but you have to turn it off for the system to be useable.

      No, that's not true. Once you get used to it it's no longer so bad.

      edit: Oh, and the "identical copies" were probably one 32 bit and one 64 bit edition.

      How did you get a free copy of Windows 7?
