March 3, 201016 yr Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I just stumbled across this article and it reminded me of the OP's question. It is basically a very techie and rather small improvement from Vista to Windows 7 how the Windows Console (command prompt) works. In older Windows versions (XP and Vista) the software design was fundamentally flawed and even posing a security risk. In Windows 7 Microsoft fixed the basic concept making it less vulnerable and more flexible. I guess it's those small things that nobody talks about that add to Windows 7 good reputation. Of course for the ordinary user this would never be reason enough to switch to Windows 7. A number of rather small improvements might not trigger the 'Wow!' effect but can still improve an OS significantly. welo
