Welcome to the 8 side, MWRed!
I skipped Vista, and wouldn't go back to XP if it was free. As I understand things, by Vista SP3, Vista had become a stable very usable OS. For now I am really enjoying 7.

Welcome Red
I used XP for work and 7 for fun. And it is fun! I wish they would migrate to Win7 at work, but they way our IT guys are, I will have to wait until Windows 9 for them to migrate to 7...

Welcome to The 8 Forums MWRed, I had no problems with Vista, actually really liked it, but 7 is great. As already mentioned previously, I wouldn't go back to XP or Vista. They were very good in their time
