Windows 7 wasn't built "on" Vista. They were both build on the same kernel. Meaning they use the same core and explains why everything looks similar between the both of them. If it was built over Vista, it would have turned out to be worse. It's like Lotus. They use engines made by Toyota but yet they have an entirely different product.
In this case, it's what Vista should have been. A non-rushed OS.
I've installed Win 7 on my gaming rig and work laptop and both have installed perfectly fine with all drivers auto-detected and installed straight from the DVD. It also detected (on both machines) what hardware I was using and downloaded the latest updates.
Boot times is much faster. Operation is faster. And I can definitely tell that performance has definitely increased on the laptop. Vista was a piece of shit on my Dell but now it runs like a dream!
