There's no way, they'd take their time after Vista to make sure their product is up to par. At least I would hope so... :3

Very nice.....

I have Vista and Win7 duel booted right now and I am finding myself using Win7 more and more. I find it to be more responsive and is a lot quicker than Vista. I also took advantage of one of my 8gig USB sticks. Win7 lets you use 8gigs for readyboost instead of 4gig like Vista. I will defiantly be buying it after the RC runs out.
