I just put a pre-order on Windows 7 Professional Upgrade (downgrading from Vista Ultimate) from Amazon, anyone else order Windows 7?
 
I ordered mine I have used both Macs & PC for years and need both. Neither platform is perfect and I love choices. BTW no emulation fr me give the raw power of both OS's
 
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.
 
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.
