No one is "abandoning Vista", which is nearly 3 years old BTW. XP came out less than 2 years after 2000, no one thought 2000 was "being abandoned", it is still being supported today.

Ben - Maybe it's because Dreamscenes - while it's a very cool concept - sucks down a TON of resources. And while your machine may be up to the task, many others are not. The concept of Windows 7 is to make it "Lean and Mean" and fast. Microsoft cut a LOT of things out of Vista and previous versions of Windows. Some of them - email, IM, Movie Maker, Parental Controls were made optional. Some of the more bloated oneswere simply removed. For the record, Microsoft is not abandoning Vista. They're moving on to a new version - yes, but Vista support isn't slated to expire for a while yet. Microsoft tends to support most of their operating systems for at least 5 years from when they were first released. Given Vista came out in January of 2007, it won't likely be retired until 2012 or 2013. You've got plenty of time. Enjoy.
