Who else uses it? And I believe I need help with merging two physical HDDs into one.

How can you prefer that peace of crap. All it is is a memory hog.
Also, It pisses me off when that dude on the PC commercial says, "To me, Macs are all about aesthetics." and then he buys a friggen Vista!!! THATS ALL VISTA IS ABOUT!!! IT SUCKS!!!
Anyway, my computer can't even run Ubuntu properly. So I really can't run Windows 7 without massive slowdown.

Just so you guys know, win7 uses less RAM at idle than Vista, about 30-50 less megs.
And, its compatibility mode, actually works perfectly!
I think everyone should at least try Win7, since its free.

I've been considering reinstalling Windows sometime this summer, so I might do that.
As for Vista, I quite like it. Works very well and I've never had any problems with it after the first few updates. If it's such a memory hog, just buy more RAM, honestly.

Well... it's not beta anymore, its release candidate. You haven't seen any compelling feature because the videos and the online tour really doesn't capture how nice this OS is. Really. Just make a 40GB partition, install it there, and try it. If you don't like it, then, format that partition and go back to using your soon-to-be-obsolete Windows XP.
You too SS.

My computer is obsolete and has been for about 7 years
Ugh I meant OS obsolete, don't talk to me about computers right now(hardware, Bios, etc.) I just had to waste a couple nights screwing with the computer I bought from Palmer. I had to buy a new GFX card. Bright side: I bought a GeForce 9400 1Gb for $60.00!!!!

Yes. They do now. But if I had any, I would bet IRL monies that by this time next year, there will be more Win7 users than XP users.

There is a reason they are making a version of Windows 7 for netbooks. Consumer end support for XP ends THIS YEAR, and business updates end at the end of 2010. As in, at the end of the year, you stop getting security fixes, updates, patches, and anything else for XP. So yes, it is very much "soon to be obsolete".
Windows Mobile is not remotely XP based in any way, shape, or form.
Oh, and there are Vista themes for XP.
