I have a copy of RC1 Windows 7, haven't installed it yet, will grab a copy of vmware workstation in the next 4 or so weeks prolly, and make a vm out of it (I currently download my vms from vmplanet and use the free vmplayer). By all accounts it's pretty damn good.
As to Vista, there's nothing wrong with it. So many people bashing it because they read or heard that it wasn't any good, or are pro Linux, pro Mac or simply don't know what they're talking about.
Vista will run on an older PC, maybe not with all the bells & whistles enabled, but do *you* really need them? Try running the latest versions of most Linux distros and you'll end up with similar resource hogs imho.
Linux upgrades more often than a baby ****s it's pants. True, you're not usually paying for said upgrades, but it still upgrades...as a long term user of Linux that has moved back to the "dark side", I don't miss the hours you know whatting around fixing things and trying to make things work - things that work out of the box on Windows, with little or no effort from the user.
