Hi Aaron, I don't think there is going to be any major performence changes in Windows 7. The thing is in my own personal experience with Windows Vista if you want it to run smoothly you need no less than a 3 GHZ processor and 1 GB of ram. If you want it to run better get a faster processor and double the ram to 2 GB. Vista and Windows 7 were never designed to run on 1 GHZ and 2 GHZ systems, and for whatever the reason Microsoft falsified and under stated Vista's system requirements to in sure sales with people running older XP systems. What few people are realising is instead of smaller faster, etc Vista and Windows 7 are larger, more graphical, and need far more system resources than XP because they need all that for the 3D desktop, 3D animated icons, and the other crap they added to the os. There really isn't a good way to improve system performence unless MS decides to yank out all the new 3D graphics technology, gadgets, etc that comes with Vista.
