I have voted "Other" since I migrated from Windows three years ago and I'm not going back.
Fun.
Such a shame so many people are going to ignorantly skip over a perfectly good OS because they can't get over it having a bad launch. XP wasn't well received at launch but you're all still clinging onto that.I use XP. And plan never to switch to vista, lol. Unless it gets better.

Probably not by the way MS have moved onto Windows 7. They've given up trying to sell Vista to the XP die hards. lolIt took me years to make the switch from Windows 98 to Windows XP, lol. Same thing will probably happen for Vista. Pretty much I'll end up getting a new computer with it on it, and that'll be the end of that.
Nah to OSX, the hippie.

So long as Windows 7 doesn't change too much from where it is now (as in very lightweight kernel) then I'll be happy.
I dont understand you post at all...I wasn't aware MinWin wasn't a part of Vista.

had vista on my brothers lappy and i was not happy with it at all. so i got rid of it and installed xp and am getting much better performance out of a laptop that more than met the recomended requirements
I wasn't aware MinWin wasn't a part of Vista.
it isn't fully is it? minwin wasn't really developed into the minimal kernel until late into server 2008, and not fully until win7
correct me if im wrong.
every NT? thought it started at Vista, and NT started with win 2k iircMinWin is present in every NT release to date. It is more of an effort than a tangible object.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaMinWin is present in every NT release to date. It is more of an effort than a tangible object.
MinWin is a term used informally by Microsoft to describe the kernel and operating system components that form the basis of releases of Microsoft Windows starting with Windows Vista. The term was first used in 2003 to describe approximately 95% of the common components of the operating system, but has over time come to refer to a significantly smaller portion thereof. Its most recent and most well-known variation as a minimalistic, self-contained set of Windows components is slated to ship as part of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Releases
While Microsoft has stated that MinWin will not be released as a stand-alone product, the various iterations of MinWin have shipped in every Windows operating system release since Windows Vista.
