    The next version of Mac OS X will be able to address 16 TB of RAM, or 16,000 GB.

    That's all very well but has it got 'Aero shake'? ;)

    Back to the original question, I a running Vista 32 Bit on my main Desktop, but I am running Windows 7 RC1 on my Samsung NC10 Netbook and have been since RC1 was released. I agree it is what Vista should of been and bar having to load software for the Function Keys functions, it works a treat and loaded in minutes via a bootable USB Stick finding all my components. All my software also works as per my desktop with the exception of Money 2005 which won't for some reason prompt to load the update on initial install, but can live without that.
    I had this problem with Money 2005, but a few days later the update box just appeared. Now working fine.

    I agree about Windows 7, and if the leaked pricing is right (USS 49 for upgrade from Windòws Home Premium) then I think I will be upgrading.

    No, but there are plenty of other ways to get RSI.

    Just reloaded Money 2005 to give it another go and it's worked fine, prompted for the update straight away. So I now have all my software working on Windows 7.

    Tempted now to upgrade my main machine to Windows 7 but 64 Bit Version and make use of the memory.
    Cheers
