Vista on agenda to be SUNK??

I've been a die-hard XP supporter but after using the Windows 7 beta for a little over a week, I have to say I might give up my XP disk before they pry it out of my cold dead fingers (if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and a kidney).

I haven't tried it on an older machine, but I just may do that to test the scalability that I've been reading about. I've read that the direction M$ is trying to head is the same operating system no matter what the platform (from cell phones to servers). I've read a few reviews that claim that it runs well on older systems.

I know for a fact that it is just as responsive (if not more so) than my tweaked out XP install and I haven't touched a thing performance wise on it. It also seems to be very stable. I've been throwing everything I can at it and only had one instance where I had to go into safe mode to get out of a problem (and that was because I didn't heed several warnings not to install a driver because of known problems-I'm just hard headed).
