Found this funny, especially considering you don't hear them whining that Apple bundle iLife & Safari and stuff with their OS.. Oh well

Also.. Ultimate versions of Vista and Windows 7 are meant for people who use the same computer both at home and at work, Home Premium edition is generally more than enough for home use ;)

The mouse ain't going to die. Touchscreens are nice but nowhere near as practical as a mouse currently ;)

Ah yes, XPM requires hardware virtualization which is a bit odd, and not all the latest Intel CPUs support it, a bit lame, but AMDs do. And that's a bit odd for XaraXtreme, maybe that issue will disappear come full retail, we shall see, fingers crossed ;)

Yea, I can see how it's misleading, there was a little snippet about it on Engadget: Virtualized Windows XP coming to Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate users However I doubt you'll ever need to use XPM (if you get Ultimate/Business) as anything that runs in Vista, and a lot of stuff that doesn't run in Vista, runs on Windows 7 just fine or by right clicking, properties, and setting compatibility mode to XP SP3. Sometimes Win7 will also do this automatically, which is rather neat. I've been using Windows 7 here at work and haven't had a single issue so far, I don't really use outdated software though as it's a web design firm. Then again, if someone is upgrading to a new OS but wants to stay with really old, legacy, programs.. then he/she might as well just stay with XP, rather seems to defeat the point of upgrading to a new OS lol :p Hehe, makes it easier on you and me :p

Check out what MS say about XPM.. it's for businesses that have serious compatibility requirements which cannot be met by the simple compatibility mode, not casual users, so most users will never even mess with it. XPM is only going to be in Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

I'll be grabbing it on day one, 64bit Ultimate. I think Microsoft had confirmed that Win7 will be releasing in October a few weeks ago. Looking forward to it :D Have yet to find a program which doesn't work in Windows7, and I've been throwing everything at it, from work software to games as far back as Starcraft. Only had a few issues with GTAIV but fixed those fairly easily.

That should work, however sometimes it can be stubborn, I spent a few good hours helping a friend set it up, I forget what he had done though to not make it work. Either way.. Windows 7 is awesome :p

Keep in mind also, if you want to dual boot Windows 7 and XP, Windows 7 will replace XP as your default boot OS and you may have to jump through some hoops to get XP back to default boot OS since 7 uses a different way of setting default boot OS.

eVGA, Lifetime warranty is just awesome.
