Ok, that put things right again - I got it completely wrong. So, not that bitter I thought it would be :-) > > Windows Seven is mainly an end user OS, so, how much end users would > want 16 threads?, also anyone who buys more than 2x i7 and the > corresponding MAINBOARD for 1 computer, can also buy a Windows Server > supporting more than 2 Physical CPUs. Yep, I got the expression wrong - thought of 2 real CPU cores in one die which would have excluded Xeon-like setups. What I still do not understand, however, is why they push a Home Premium version without XP emulation (almost all new machines sold come with it). End users will have a great bunch of older software they depend on which they will want to continue using. As far as I can see, they would have to upgrade to Professional to be able to use XP emulation. Or did I get this wrong, too? :-) Rolf
