Hmmm... interesting article. I suppose it could alleviate the fears of those who don't want their XP taken away, but it still doesn't give people a compelling reason to "upgrade" (if indeed, any MS system after XP counts as an upgrade). I use a lot of virtual machines, both on Mac and Windows. They're very useful for specific kinds of tasks where I want to isolate a project from the rest of the machine. But that's geek stuff... does the ordinary user want to mess around with trying to figure out how to coordinate the data on the virtual machine with the host machine? With what to do when the VM is set for DHCP bridging to share the host's adapter? For the subtleties of how to connect the CD drive to the VM instead of the host? I dunno. I suspect MS has really lost their way and is now wandering through their old memos to see if they can find themselves.

Well, the problem is in weak PCs, I have a P3 and running XP Pro perfectly. Since Vista is bloatware and requires atleast 2.4Ghz CPU or something like that.. and 2GB RAM and it eats a lot of HD space for no reason but to bloat, I can't run it.. Now, the W7 is going to be even worser resource eater and I do not like that.
