What will be brought down to a single version is the "Windows 7 Ready" Sticker that they slap on New PCs - Vista had 4 variants apparently.

There seems to be different accounts of what they are going to do. This article is claiming that they are going to only release three different versions..... who knows :dunno

EDIT: Atomsmasher already posted that link. Dang, too late.
From the brief time I have spent using windows 7, I still greatly prefer XP.

Duh. M$ is trying to kill off XP thus my comment.

Right . . . I mean, I say Windows 7 is great and thus must be on Microsoft's payroll. You respond with Windows XP being great. So who is paying you to say that? Exactly. ;D

I read that a couple of times and it gave me a headache. :dizzy:
I have some M$ shares so it puts me well into their camp.
XP will live on forever as does NT4 and Windows 98.
I contract for some who still has NT4 Workstation on all their PCs. NT4 is rock solid and stable.
If it ain't broke..... 8)

In fact, it is broke. It is not supported. It also lacks driver support for about 99.999% of any hardware on the market today. I suspect that tons of modern software will not run or will not run properly on it as well, but I haven't touched an NT4 workstation in years so I can't really comment on that more concretely. Antivirus software is, presumably, among these since no modern antivirus program will run on NT4 and no version old enough to run on NT4 can still have its virus definitions updated. Actually I have no idea if that's true, but if it is not it will be soon enough.
DOS was also rock solid and stable. Neither NT4, nor Windows XP will live on forever. :) Both, however, were excellent operating systems.
