I have used both OS and I like windows 7 better. It is faster and looks cooler. Windows 7 is optimized and redesigned windows vista with all the fixes, so I would recommend it to you. I like the way the games run (smoother and faster) and there are added some new cool features. There are some people with problem using 5.1 audio systems with windows 7, but they are all fixable!

I just bought a laptop and it came preinstalled with Windows 7. To checkout if it is better to have this or should I downgrade to Vista I was searching the internet and found this link, hope this will help you as well - https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/compare/versions.aspx

I'm not sure, but my friend told me that power management was way better with windows 7 on laptops and that it was faster than Vista... I think it's pretty usefull for people who like watching movies on their laptop without always having to stay near a wall plug because their battery doesn't last long enough. I know there's more, but I dont remember the other pros and the cons. Hope I helped you.
