What about Vista did you not like? Windows 7 is really just Vista SP2 with a fresh coat of paint. On the 4 computers I have run Windows 7 on it is less stable than Vista (still much more stable than XP, but Vista SP1 is basically impossible to crash unless you try very hard to do so).
Windows 7 isn't more than a fraction faster than Vista according to my usage and some recent online benchmarks (i.e. all benchmarks fall below the threshold deemed noticable by users).
All the love Windows 7 is getting confuses me...because it really is just Vista with some tweaks. Reminds me of the Microsoft ads of people who didn't like Vista using Vista without being told it's Vista and loving it...
The new taskbar is odd...I'm still not sure if I like it. It may depend on how 3rd party developers code their programs to use it. At the moment any app with multiple windows just plain sucks for me.
