I for one have never installed vista for home or my work PC's  still use XP, and it is true that Windows 7 uses the Vista core :( if the RC is anything to go by. It's an ok OS but i am not really blown away by it unless there are going to be heaps of changes from the RC to retail version. BUT at least its better then Vista :D. (although that not saying much.......  :) )

For gaming Vista and Win 7 maybe ok but for business i will still use XP and i have XP running on AMD's, Dual Core's, Quad Core's and I7's and its still does the job very well (unless ofcourse dumb users get in the way :) ).
AS for it updating without telling you, and you having no choice that is incorrect, just like xp and vista i have set it up to ask me what to download and install (although if u choose to download you don't get the option to install it, it will auto install).
I am thinking of moving my Work PC's onto Linux after XP become not viable to install on new PC's (although I am a linux newb... :D ).
Anyway win 7 still has a long way to go and if i do decide to buy it i would probably wait for a SP1 release.
