Of course, if someone upgraded to Vista today, he/she would find that Vista still leaves far less unused RAM than XP, but that's one of the changes Windows 7 is supposed to be reverting.

Lots of Vista users will be upgrading to 7, just like lots of Windows Me users upgraded to XP. Fixed. (Actually I'm just posting that to fit in with a lot of the Vista-Sux groupthink I've been reading in these threads - I'm happily using Vista64 atm 9SP1 made it a viable upgrade from XP), but if what I've read so far about W7 is accurate I'll be joining the crowd who switch to it)

Interestingly, it looks like Aussies are going to pay through the nose for it too.
