I'll be dual-booting it with Win XP, Win 7 is great but you can't beat good ol' XP

It was leaked. I seen 7600 Ultimate somewhere. I was hoping for new DRM in the form of an advance rootkit or something, but it'd the same method as vista.

The security in vista and 7 have a lot of security similarities with popular posix systems, just a more productive interface. I used it, but I'm on netbooks and laptops now because I'm between countries and am about to move again. I might try it on a small system and just stop most of the background services.

I'm goinng to be getting a new main HDD for my PC in a few days, when I do I'll reinstall clean versions of both XP and Win 7.

Mr.Turnsignal us all know if there has been any major changes, thanks.

So far so good. It's not as buggy as the beta but that's usually how it is. But I'm liking it. It's faster than my xp was. I'd recommend if anyone is still thinking about the upgrade.

Just installed to testing my version of "Windows 7 Ultimate" to make sure it's completly functional and it's super fast.

PS I don't think those Atoms are that great at decoding, if your gonna get an Atom system make sure the GPU can decode HD content

It has the NVIDIA ION LE graphics chipset. NVIDIA® ION™ graphics processors turn up the visuals on compact, low-power PCs with performance up to 10X faster than similar systems. When combined with a low-power CPU like Intel Atom, ION graphics processors transform traditional under-performing PC designs into a premium experience.

Key Benefits
    * Premium DirectX 10 graphics with advanced digital display connectivity
    * Full 1080p HD video with true-fidelity 7.1 audio
    * NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology to accelerate the most demanding applications, vastly improving your PC’s ability to work with visual content such as video encoding
    * Premium Windows experience with Windows Vista and Windows 7

Ha!  You really think that I would buy something that would have sub-par graphics?  Besides that, it would only be a media SERVER, not a game machine, or anything to watch movies on. This would work for what I need it to to.  If I were to build one, it would cost me more. I wanted a Socket AM2, 2+ or 3, with a CPU, and that's going to run me over 199.99 with RAM.   This one has DDR2, and will do what I need it to do.  Still on the fence about it though, the WIFE tents to turn the 60" TV into her ultimate browsing experience...

$199.99 at Best Buy - It's the Acer AspireRevo AR1600-U910H, with the Intel Atom 230 (1.6GHz) 1GB DDR2 160GB HDD.  Funny thing is, the processor is listed twice in the Device Manager, and it is not a dual core CPU.  I removed them from the hardware manager, and when it rebooted, there were TWO again...   I have an Athlon63 X2 4200 and it lists two CPUs as well.   These are also great for using in a car!

It has two memory slots, they're probably the Laptop type, and one is available.  It has 1GB DDR2, and DDR2 is cheaper than DDR...  I would upgrade to 2GB immediately.   Something else may come along for me though, like a free P4 PC, so who knows.

Some places are also selling PCs and Laptops with Vista, but include a free upgrade to Win7.

Can you upgrade from an Exploited version of Vista to Win7?

It said that you can't, after all it checks your system files/info during upgrade.

Oh well...
