Am I the only one here that's happy enough with Vista to NOT want to upgrade to 7 (just yet). I run the Windows 7 RC on dual-boot and, compared to my very optimized Vista install, I don't see too much of a difference when running programs. All my programs work in Vista and I want to invest my cash somewhere else until I'm ready for something a little different.

I mean, i hear people say they wanted to stay on XP when Vista was announced, but is staying on Vista for a while when 7 is announced a crime?
