    Wow, a fuss about nothing! So what can it do that is worth the effort of upgrading, that cannot already be done and that people simply MUST have? Or is this really anything other than a makeover, with new graphics and so on?

    This is the fluffiest article I've ever seen on silicon.com. You guys just took a chunk out of your brand value. I hope it was worth the few extra ad impressions.

    What's the problem here? If you don't want Windows 7 don't buy it :)

    If you fancy top give your desktop a nice make-over without the having to upgrade your PC for the power-hungry Vista, Windows 7 seems to be the solution.

    I had a go on the beta version and it seemed pretty nice
