Others have had problems when they didn't use Internet Explorer.

That fits with the way MS does their business.

Oh gee, I finally discovered the problem.

Microsoft neglected to tell me it didn't want me to use Firefox to download.

I had to switch over to my HP Vista notebook and use Internet Explorer (gasp!)

I thought I'd give it a try, just for a lark.

I could install it on the "junk" PC sitting behind me. Or I could install it in a virtual machine, on my Macintosh.

I went through all the verification and stuff, and clicked on the download button.

No go... No result at all.

I tried both the 32-bit & 64-bit versions. I tried downloading from my Macintosh and my Vista PC.

No results.

Gosh, guess they're not really serious?

If the server isn't working, or the downloads are closed, they could just say so.

I hate to waste my time.

Windows 7 *is* Vista, and WIndows 7 *is* slicker than Visa as they have toned down a lot of the crap that runs as standard under Vista, hence the reason you get that feeling things are a dam site faster.. why thats because they are!
If anyoen thinks that Windows 7 is some *new* operating system unrealted to Vista then they need to go back and start reading again.....

I saw no real mentionable performance increase between Vista and Windows 7, TBH. Last time I looked there was no real mention of any CORE changes, so whos to say its better but a placebo effect in the fact that Windows Vista's name has been stained, so people initially believe Windows 7 is better.
