I still am lost at to why I would want Vista or Windows 7. What does Vista have that XP doesn't? Aero and desktop search. Is that it? What will Windows 7 give me that is worth the $60-$100 that I will need to pay?<br><br>Gary I agree that by 2009/2010 then memory prices will lower and netbooks with 1GB might be quite common.

Just look at how they were able to shoehorn XP in the the XO laptop. I have a nephew at Redmond and he says 7 will be a lot leaner than Vista. Yes, it is the same core, but the emphasis is on quicker boot times and more efficient use of memory. I am no MS lover, but if you want to go Microsoft, 7 looks like the way to go in 2010. Of course it will still be DRMed to death. Microsoft can do it when they want to. Just look at how they were able to shoehorn XP in the the XO laptop.
