My understanding is that MS listened to the bad input from Vista users and
hastened the release of W7, which is supposedly an upgraded Vista, but not
in name. Unfortunately, W7 requires different drivers that leaves Vista as
another mistake that won't be fixed.

My laptop came with Vista installed and the W7 upgrade discs.

Unfortunately there, Dell used a special LAN card that requires an upgrade
to the drivers for that, which aren't on the W7 install CDs...getting a
driver from Dell is like pulling hen's teeth.
