I look forward to your next review
I am far more interested in the differences between versions than an overview. We've been hearing about Windows 7 features for months, now it would be nice to know exactly which features will be present on each SKU, and how the SKUs perform versus each other (like will Starter really be all that bad, or will the extra bloat on Ultimate make it perform worse than the lesser SKUs?).
