People need to forget this "slower than XP" bullcrap, it's an old OS and it should ran fast on current rigs. Although Windows 7 in my opinion is at least as fast, and I have a relatively old rig.
OS's evolve, and one part of that will be more intuitive (often better looking) UI. Initially this will probably result in slightly (with Win 7 very slightly, if at all) poorer performance, but that will disappear soon enough. Also, new OS have a lot more functionality and all of that will add up to system requirements, although in Windows 7 requirements are damn low.
People hanging on to the likes of XP like their life depends on it (wonder how many company IT-professionals here will jump on this part) are slowing development, and that is never good.
