I'm running windows 7 beta 64 bit right now. It's great so far. First impression is that it surpases my installation of XP pro 64bit.
cheers Porphy

The most important thing is; In what ways is it dissimilar to Vista, and by how much? I seriously cannot take this operating system eating up a significant chunk of my RAM for no apparent purpose for much longer, and it has a lot of other annoying habits as well.

Well, from what I understand MS wanted to go fullfill their vision of the MinWin OS.
Windows 7 should be close to it and Vista has been a steppingstone towards that vision. The core of XP is based on 2000, which is based on NT4 which is based on NT3. We are basicly talking about an architecture thats 10 years old. Its time to change, but change is costly and painfull. Thats what we are going through now. I have skipped on using Vista, but will give 7 a try

 I wonder if this means in the near future we'll have to grow through several months of: "Will (insert favorite game or application here) run on Windows Seven?" posts? :hmm:

Moving from Vista to Windows 7 will not be as much trouble as moving from XP to Vista.
