Of course Window 7 looks like Vista it is build on the Vista kernel. Windows 98 and ME were very similar because they were build on the Windows 98 kernel. Windows 7, however, has more security features than Vista and also is far more stable. It also has more compatibility with hardware than Vista had when Vista was originally released..
Your choice of operating system will depend upon the manufacturer of your PC - remember it is not only Microsoft that has to make money, the PC manufacturers' have to too. If they don't think Windows 7 will sell their machines then they will opt for an alternative. That alternative will not, however, be XP. XP has passed its sell buy date now and I don't think Microsoft will be allowing any 'downgrade' options; if anything the only downgrade option will be Vista.

When people see it, they will avoid it just because its too vista- like.
Microsoft perceives that they will eventually lose the OS war, that's why they are keeping their last good OS
alive (XP)
Even with Windows7 you will be able to downgrade to XP!
Yes you heard that... microsoft wants to be sure they have a backup plan when people just ignore their
attempts to make a new os "based on vista", and will provide downgrade rights to XP when you get Win7.
While windows7 seems good enough, the reputation of vista as the worse OS ever made on earth, will retard its retarded sales.
I don't think Microsoft will ever fully recover from the blow vista had on their business and reputation.
Now Linux is the next big thing....
