I think Windows 7 is an attempt to get better performance from peoples computers. The big problem that Vista had was that it needed so much computer. Lot's of systems were sold as Vista Ready when the only version of Vista that would run was the most basic version and they didn't expect anyone to actually use that one. The modular approach lets people pick and choose what is actually installed. How this works should be interesting to watch. I understand (listening to Paul Thurrott) that the guy in charge of Vista development at MS uses a netbook on a daily basis and expects to use that for Windows 7. BTW, Paul T. uses a Macbook Pro w/boot manager for his laptop, he started out using an Amiga and switched sometime after Windows 3.1(??). -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Dirty old modules love to get overlaid! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
