Rumours so far suggest that Windows 7 could be even more expensive than Vista - but I've not seen any concrete pricing as yet. I think I'm going to take the plunge and get this as soon as it comes out (my only upgrade of the year!).

Agreed Ian, would also be another good excuse to try a 64 Bit OS - which means I can upgrade my RAM

I'm thinking along those lines to, but also thinking I need a bit of a system upgrade...Desktop is ok, but could do with a bit of an upgrade in the CPU department. ( I have posted a thread about this before) then a good graphics card, and up the ram to 4gig and I should be happy..I like W7, although I am getting more and more into Linux, had a play with Abars link to Mint 7 last night and i'm liking it...

If you want to play with a free 64 Bit os then Mandy is not a bad choice.

You could triple boot with your usable os and Mandy + 7.

I've tried Mandriva in the passed, download the lastest one a while ago. I am impressed with it, takes a while to get used to

But overall, not bad at all
