I must say ...
... your impressive list, just isn't that impressive to me.

#1 - Performance boost -- subjective

#2 - More restrained UAC -- more duck tape

#3 - 64-bit becomes the new default -- had 64 bit for years now

#4 - Improved troubleshooting tools -- no comment, biting my tongue

#5 - UI improvements -- subjective

#6 - Touch support -- not needed

#7 - XP Mode -- not needed

Bonus favorite feature - It's not Vista. 'Nuff said! -- To sell W7 you need to bash Vista? Very opportunistic heh?



^o^
