If windows 7 is actually faster using less ram then Im already sold.

It has been reported that Windows 7 addresses your concerns for underpowered
and low memory
configurations. The demo was done on a 1GHz 1GB RAM machine. The OS was taking

numbers to get average

under DOS would run today on the newest hardware.

The thing that shocked me about WInXp when i first loaded it way back
when was that it ran faster and far more stable than win 98. it was a
genuine step forward. Can you say the same about Vista? giant
headache and a step backwards. Looks nice tho. (big deal)

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday pulled the wraps off the next version of its
operating system, Windows 7, which the company said will make it easier
for PC
et updates and bug
fixes for 2008 and back.
New versions of OS from Microsoft always gives us a step back before a step
forward.

the feature list looks underwhelming at best. What about a feature
called 'runs faster and uses less memory'. I have the misfortune to
own a cheap laptop that came with vista basic. the operating system
on that can only be described using 4 letter words. It is
cripple-ware. wireless networking
I liked XP. It just works and doesnt get in the way of doing things
like Vista does. Vista looks good but after the eye-candy I hate it
with a special loathing. Give XP a new face and bring it back.
