Ya I think with the quad core possessors and the new SATA tripling in speed and even faster graphics cards comping out we will see the full potential of ddr 3 and 7. Windows released this instead of a service pack just to put vista behind them. I look at it as being a cut down version of vista. Call it what you will but it is what it is. When I have 3 teachers all saying the same thing I have to agree with them. Than working with it first hand ya that is all it is. But I will agree too disagree.

"A service pack?
But what is Windows 7, exactly? A service pack for Vista? Well, yes and no, says Barnicle in a phone call I had with him Tuesday afternoon. “This is an evolution of Vista rather than a revolution,” says Barnicle. In his opinion, many of the things they chucked from Vista are showing up in Windows 7. Hmm. Sounds like a service pack."
