Just a sales pitch then?
Wouldn't surprise me if they're trying to steer people to beefier machines.
Does W7 still have a version of Movie Maker? That's the big thing at the moment I want to keep around, so I can process video. Does W7 still play nice with dual booting? I know every generation tries to make it impossible. Is the advice to install Ubuntu second still true? --

Re: Movie Maker
Windows 7 doesn't include Movie Maker. They moved it and a couple of other bundled apps to separate "Windows Live" downloads. Windows Live Movie Maker is a rewrite that may or may not do what you want. But the "classic" version of Movie Maker is still available for download as well:
Windows Live Movie Maker: http://download.live.com/moviemaker Windows Movie Maker 2.6: http://www.microsoft...FC&displaylang=en |

Cool, might try both
I'm already pretty familiar with the classic version. I wonder if the new one is "simplified".

Unless you have a *pressing* reason for XP, keep 7.

VirtualBox supports Win7 clients.

Looks like VMWare licensing/pricing has changed
