The big advantage we have is one disc and one OS. Windows Vista exists in Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate and there are 32 bit and 64 bit versions which the user has to pick when installing.
There are some suggestions that you will be able to choose 32 bit or 64 bit when booting Snow Leopard, but the code will be there for both. Windows 7 is a bit different and will be a much better OS than Vista which even microsoft doesn't mention any more. Just read the first line on the Windows 7 page and its refered to as an upgrade from XP! Yet again they've pinched Apple ideas the Dock (taskbar) Stacks (jumplists) Expose (desktop enhancements) Spotlight (windows search) Bonjoiur (home group) There is no mention on their web site of multi processor usage or how Windows handles multiple cores. Wikipedia might be worth a look!
