My first love of Windows 7 over Vista is the UAC. I, and most everyone I know, HATES the Vista UAC. I have it turned off, but I still get bugged about it every time I start my computer. In Windows 7, you turn it OFF, and it's OFF!

Secondly, I don't feel it's such a resource hog as Vista. Windows 7 is what Vista should have been to start with. I would have even accepted Win 7 as Vista SP2.

For me, it's seamless with 64 bit CPUs. Vista is, for the most part, also, but I can run Win 7 on everything from a single core 64 bit AMD to a Quad Core AMD 64 bit, and everything inbetween. I suspect that when I upgrade my Netbook to 2GB of RAM, I won't have any issues running it on a 1.6GHz Atom processor, either. By the way, the Win 7 compatibility adviser says Win 7 will run just fine on my Netbook, and will even run Aero.

For those that are interested, I've run COD 4 (Call of Duty) on the 3000+ 64 bit single core AMD and it wasn't bad. My video card sucked, but the game didn't seem to have any issues. I also run that as a COD 4 server, with multiple connections to it, and it hasn't done anything bad, no crashes or stuff.

For those who are not running Vista, or are running a 32 bit version of Vista, and wish to upgrade to a 64 bit version of WIn 7, I say wait a couple of months. If you have a version of Vista that you like, i.e., 64 bit Home Premium, then upgrade to 64 bit WIn 7 Premium, I think you'll enjoy it.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
