Why is Windows 7 more famous than Vista?

I'll admit that Windows 7 is better than Vista, having a ton of experience with both. I have Win 7 on my laptop and Vista X64 on my desktop. However, there isn't enough difference between the 2 for someone to say that Windows 7 is great and Vista sucks. Windows 7 is built directly off Vista, and is essentially the same OS with a few tweaks, a few more bells and whistles, and a new paintjob.

ya i think vista had a few problems when it first came out and that tainted it forever, vista is a perfectly good OS now ive used it for the past3 years and can hardly tell the difference on my desktop with win 7.
