    First thing that came to mind when I saw the thread... bull####.

    After I read the links....it's still bull####

    As long as the coding remains embedded. It's just a slimmed down version. With the command line removed

    From everything I'm reading, Windows 7 is a smaller faster windows. I've read that it's even leaner than XP. I for one can't wait to get my hands on the finished product. I'm using Vista now, and I'm not that happy with it. They had no choice to slim windows down, those $300 netbooks are flying off the shelves and the companys that sell them, Asus, Dell, and others are putting linux and google android on them instead of windows.
