As I remember Vista had some areas that were hard or unintuitive to configure, Win7 cleaned up those parts.
Win7 also made the disk hungry background processes play nice, Vista would occasionally lock up with 100% CPU and disk usage while the os scanned something.
And I agree Win7 is just a reskinned Vista.
I remember my vista experience was excessive amounts of prompts to confirm it was using some privileged access for literally anything I tried to do.
Ah yes now I remember, they were very annoying.
