Haha wow guys...I mean the things such as the transparency, Desktop animations, Visual Styles, and so on.....these things are the same in 7 as they are in vista..........
Thats what I mean 
There Got this post correct
Even assuming you are correct, and transparency, desktop animations, etc, are the same, they neither constitute the same "general idea" nor them being "very close". The very same logic could be used for an unemployed drifter who looks like Santa claus. Obviously, since he looks just like him he's "nearly the same" in other respects as well, aside from a few very minor differences, of course, what with the shopping kart instead of a sled, and a dog with matted fur instead of reindeer; and of course his kart is filled with cans, trash, and junk instead of toys, but hey- they are the same general idea.
anyway, my point is-
When you change the insides, nobody notices.
Yes. Vista and 7 both share the Aero plumbing; they share similar kernels. But so did Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and a lot of people learned that it was a bad idea to assume they were one and the same.
