I'm really excited about 7.
Yesterday I was at Dell in SM Marikina, trying out the XPS M1330 (again... what can I say? Dream laptop haha). The display unit had a leaked copy of 7 on it. Granted, the unit also had a 2.4 Ghz dual core processor and 3 gigs of RAM, but everything was really, really snappy. Snappier than this work laptop of mine which has a 2.5 Ghz dual core proc, 2 gigs of RAM and is running XP.
I know my anecdote is very much a quick and unscientific point of view on the matter of 7's performance, but that's what MS needs to shake people out of the stupor Vista has caused - show something that's visibly fast, and then substantiate it with genuinely good OS performance.
