Of course. It's also incorrect to imply that W7 is merely bugfixes on Vista. 
But I was saying that MS doesn't make money when stuff is broken. They've 
had several notable failures, including Vista. People just didn't upgrade to 
Vista like one might expect.

You don't have to upgrade if you don't need to.
