This is totally RIDICULOUS

While I was seriously considering upgrading to the universally complimented new Operating System from M$, to the Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and was doing a little bit research on the old OS for comparison in evaluating the upgrade decision, I came across a piece of old news, fun and RIDICULOUS...

PC World: Fastest Vista Laptop, An Apple MacBook Pro


PC World published a series on The Most Notable Notebooks of 2007 and their pick for the fastest Windows Vista laptop? It was an Apple MacBook Pro.

ROFL...and SHAME on you Vista
(though it works well on my recently upgraded ASUS M51Sn - T8300 with 4G DDR667 and GeForce 9500M)
But hell, you don't expect you need a gaming spec for an OS to work smoothly for routine tasks!

Currently the single obstacle deterring me from upgrading is the compatibility issue with old 32 bits drivers - you may argue I can as well install x86 Windows 7, but why don't save the trouble once and for all (I mean it could very well be the coming 7-10 years), in the (personal) view that 64 bits system is an unstoppable mega trend?

Plus I need x64 for my 4G ram to run on full-steam!
