The Glade 4.0

Vista fixed the poor WEP compatibility that XP had, not that it's a big selling point now considering WEP is old and mostly useless. Win7 is the first Windows operating system where I've actually used the new UI rather than rolling back to Windows Classic (Win98 UI). The UI is actually functional and usable, rather than a useless piece of **** thrown on in order to look slick and modern.

I had Vista on my previous laptop, and there were a lot of things about it that I actually liked now that I go back and use XP on my desktop. Mostly little things, like the way each OS handled file conflicts moving stuff around. Vista did actually offer a number of improvements over XP on the user end. The problem was that Vista is a resource hog. Win7 tightened resource management, while keeping the improvements.

I have an Asus G72. 2.2ghz q9000 @ 1066 MHz fab, 6Gb ddr3, nvidia 260m gtx which is the best mobile gpu which isn't incredibly expensive. Well, Ati may have the 4850/4870m in some mid range notebooks now but any better chips are only available in really expensive Sager, ibuypower, mySN, Falcon NW, or Voodoo notebooks.
