7 is by far the best OS that MS has ever released.

I work for the government, which means we'll get Windows 7 about the time that Windows 15 comes out.

Yeah... we just got approved Vista... err... FORCED to use Vista... I fucking HATE IT!

but instead of sitting on XP and waiting for 7... they jump from XP decently quick and will be on Vista forever now...

Yup. I work for NIST-National Institute of Standards and Technology. We are still on XP. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Fortunately they canceled vista deployments (here) early in the project.
Unfortuntely I'm stuck on XP (work laptop) until next year HOWEVER it all works out in the end because then we'll be part of the 64bit rollout vs the 32bit rollout.
