Wait for the Ultimate Steal

I'm waiting for them to offer windows 7 ultimate for 60 bucks on theultimatesteal.com for students since I can still access my old college email.

Vista SP 2 is really perky in my virtual machines. I pre-ordered a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium for my tower. I'll still have XP Pro and Vista Ultimate for other purposes.

AMD really shines for virtualization performance right now. Maybe I'll get more RAM.

In persona non grata
Win 7 looks pretty good, doesn't aggravate me near as much as previous offerings.

And looks like my company is fixing to make Outlook mandatory, so while I doubt I'll pre-order, I'll probably end up running it in virtualization. Kind of wish they had a basic version like Vista did.
