But yes indeed there is indeed many similarities to Vista in 7, certainly more similarities than Vista was compared to XP. Not that this makes Vista/7 bad IMO, but still. 7 have many modifications to the Vista codebase.

In this case, the key similarity is that they both support SMB 2.0, which was a new version of the SMB protocol introduced with Vista.

This probably got confused by the fact that BN calls 7 "Vista 7", which can easily be confused with "Vista/7" which is different. I don't use this name myself. It is Vista/7, not “Vista 7″.
