Why is everyone moving to Windows 7?

Why is everyone moving to Windows 7? It looks terrible.. why move? Vista - massive RAM abuser but it looks better than Windows 7.. or just use XP?

Windows 7 is incredible. Unless you use it yourself, you wouldnt understand. And if you have, you are blind

What is new too it? I have seen a pile of rubbish about it. Everything looks ugly from the previews.

The sheer speed of it is what atracts me. Uses only about 900MB of RAM. The new taskbar may look odd, but when you actually use it, it's not bad at all

900MB is a lot when you only have 1.75 GB.

I love it

It's proportionate to how much RAM you have just like vista is. 900MB out of 8GB isn't alot.

Windows fanbois here ^_^ No just kidding.

I think its got a long way togo in terms of Gaming Performance/Rendering/Transcoding which I do regularly. XP just beats it hands down, but I prefer practical use over graphical and "new" applications.

What are you talking about? It beats XP in most if not all benchmarks.
