I already checked that demo out. I was disappointed. It is just another Vista. I could not find big changes there. Some features even did not work yet. Besides that it has problems in a virtual environment while XP and several Linux distributions did work fine in Virtual Box, Win 7 also works but has problems to detect hardware and drivers properly.

yup I've been using the the Beta for a couple of days, it has features Vista won't have were you can pin what ever you use most to the task bar, also theres another feature Vista won't have were you can touch your monitor (you need a touch screen for this, which Vista won't eccept through the watcom tablet function)also in every espect it's different then Vista, something I had which was for Vista won't run on Window 7. For the other critics watch the Vids,(I didn't like Vista) I'm buying it when it comes out.

i can even say it works as fast as XP(maybe faster.) i like it.
(just hate the "send feedback" link on all window titles.)
(but this is what vista should be like when it s first released)

I still believe all these "It runs fast" comments are somewhat subjective. I would like to see some benchmarks there. A new fresh and empty OS always runs fast. Start to install all your virus and anti-spam tools, all the additions fonts, office and programming tools. And then look again!
XP is able to boot on my PC in something about 5 seconds. Vista and Win7 cannot achieve this. But I never tested the speed of an application, or the time it takes to start OpenOffice in XP, Vista and Win7. This would be more interesting.
But I also hope to get a faster Win7. Vista was worse than XP. Maybe Win7 can correct this. But I will wait for a real review and benchmark to jump from my chair.

(you need a touch screen for this, which Vista won't eccept through the watcom tablet function The Wacom Cintiq tablets are not actual touch screens though. The only thing closest to a Windows platform with touchscreen functionality are the tablet PCs.

Well I hope it's faster than XP, as beating Vista in performance should be easy. Lol, thats a great point right there. I feel sorry for people who forked out a lot of hard-earned money for Vista Ultimate only to want to upgrade to W/7 so early. Right now, I will stick with XP.
