This is a normal post Heh...
"Starter Edition: A lightweight version for netbook computers, that will only be capable of running three applications concurrently"

Kind of sums up all the previous versions really...
1) Update checker
2) Browser (Badly)
and
3) a virus.

This is a normal post Weren't Microsoft supposed to be going
right back to basics with their new Windows? I thought they had re-written the code from scratch and made it really small? Or was that something else?

This "windows 7" is surely just another rebranded Vista (ie. a bit crap)?

This is a normal post it's had lots rewritten
but in essense it's built from the Vista core yup. The UAC has had some massive changes so it no longer keeps asking you tedious questions when you're trying to do things manually, it only asks when applications try doing things now (as the default option), much more sensible. From first glances it took up less ram and was much more snappy.

One cool feature (apparently) is the ability to mount VHD (Virtual Hard Disks) and even boot from them. That's going to save shit loads of time with backing up.

This is a normal post Ah cool, cheers.
I don't actually find Vista too bad (once you've turned off all the crap to make it like XP again). All my software ran and most of the fuss from Abobe (in particular) about their stuff not working on it was basically bullshit (to get folks to upgrade to cs3 of course :-)).
