Hating Windows, and loving Linux are two entirely unrelated emotions.
For instance, I don't have to hate impacting a car while on my motorbike, to
love eating freshly grilled Barramundi.

I'm sure you must mean "Windows beta7 *seems* to be a marked improvement
over Vista", as Windows 7 is not yet released, and all you have seen is a
beta ?
How can you praise something that does not yet exist ?

Personally, given Microsofts performance with their OSes. I'd like to wait
for several months until after the finished product is released, and users
who have no choice but to use it, start reporting on its problems, before
making up my mind.
But hey that's just me, you can rush headlong into an unfinished promise
waving your Vistabeta7 CD (that will turn into a pumpkin in August),
leaping and dancing with glee if you like.
