[IronPython] [OT] RE: IronPython on Win7 Build7100

[Keith J. Farmer]

Might I suggest:  the fact that it doesn't have "Vista" on the label?
 
Don't get me wrong, Win7 is a great advance over Vista -- I'm using it exclusively at home and have been since the beta, but the only differences from Vista (whch I use on my work laptop until tomorrow) that I encounter day-to-day are the superbar and the smoother processing (see Russinovich's video about detangling the scheduler that was passed down from times long forgotten).  If you can't put your finger one a reason, I suspect the reason has more to do with a (subconscious) attitude about Vista that you don't have about Win7 (and Vista had a *lot* of social baggage from the start that was never properly handled).

It's a bit off-topic for this list, but I'd like to second this.  I
primarily write Windows drivers, and I really hated Vista.  I have a big
test box with 4 different OS partitions, but I only booted Vista when I
absolutely had to.

However, my Win 7 experience has been significantly better.  I find that
I'm actually CHOOSING to boot Win 7 when I start up my test box.  I'm
not sure I can put my finger on exactly what's different, but it has
certainly made it a lot more pleasant to test drivers.
