Actually, no

More powerful machines are for driving more powerful software, whether it be the OS or apps. The point is, Vista is not so much a more powerful OS, more of a resource-hungry OS which wastes half your computing power. If I advise someone buying a new system, I'll still tell them to get XP. Why? Because otherwise they're simply throwing half of their lovely new system in the bin. Half the memory, half the CPU power, simply wasted. For what?

MS really does NOT want to be advertising Windows 7 as "built on Vista", or "no more of a resource hog than Vista was". That is not a marketing strategy that will convince me to try it, let alone buy it.
