&lt;p&gt;in Vista NO Extras ever really came ( Texas Hold-em and Language packs don&amp;#39;t count!) and Ultimate Users now will not have a reasonable upgrade offer to make it worth it, I mean now the only thing I would loose is bit locker but I want bit locker and Paid for bit locker when I bought Vista. I Should NOT have to GIVE UP and thing when I UPgrade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So lets see:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Vista Ultimate Upgrade: $300&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a windows vista user with sp1 and currently awaiting for sp2. I currently loving windows vista OS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am just curious about one thing related to the new OS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will actually the new os windows 7 stop coming out if windows vista becomes much better with sp2 whereas more people switching over to vista from previous mostly from windows xp OS? or will windows vista still be replaced with windows 7 by early next year even though the sp2 satisfies most users?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;by the way, i installed vista sp2 X86 for 32bit system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can use it like it was Windows XP, and I really love it! Well done, Microsoft! I think you MS guys have done a good job with SP1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will try SP2 next month on a virtual machine, and I hope that SP2 have a great performace. I know that Windows Vista doesn&amp;#39;t have a good performance with 512MB of RAM , but I&amp;#39;ll do it anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the way, how can I send feedback when I use SP2?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and I can&amp;#39;t figure out how to uninstall sp1. &amp;nbsp;more problems than solutions help. &amp;nbsp;I know I am a few months behind, but I just got this computer a while ago, and trying to get the hang of vista. &amp;nbsp;ready to go back to xp in a heartbeat. &amp;nbsp;If there was a way to find out how to fix things without being a technical expert, it would be nice, or to get any answers.&lt;/p&gt;

The problems I have are rather minor, all in all less problems than with XP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I want to know:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will the Taskbar Thumbnails be resizable in SP2?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently I use &amp;quot;Vista Thumbnail Sizer&amp;quot;, see &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/thumbnailsizer.html"&gt;mpj.tomaatnet.nl/.../thumbnailsizer.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My thumbnail Size is about 800x700, I love having a live preview without the need to click on the task, and such a large thumbnail helps checking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See also:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/thread/ce3faa82-f168-4fc6-9445-c3273cc4b120"&gt;social.answers.microsoft.com/.../ce3faa82-f168-4fc6-9445-c3273cc4b120&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For completeness and consistency the function of &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/glasstoasts.html"&gt;mpj.tomaatnet.nl/.../glasstoasts.html&lt;/a&gt; would be good too (I don&amp;#39;t use it, but it should be done).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another problem is when the taskbar is on the right it resizes when some programs run, see:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaappearance/thread/0c77bdb3-86b0-40fb-a323-2688bb5d712d"&gt;social.answers.microsoft.com/.../0c77bdb3-86b0-40fb-a323-2688bb5d712d&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion a Vista bug, others think different, but too many programs cause that behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Set&lt;/p&gt;
