Windows 7 RC

Vista Lite might be more accurate than Vista Plus. I have a test PC with 1GB of RAM decent CPU, HD, etc and it's a DOG running Vista. It's fine running Windows 7. It uses almost 500MB less RAM when sitting idle after bootup.

Basically they removed a lot of the "code bloat" that was at the root of the poor performance people problem complained about with Vista. I agree with the above statement that once Windows 7 is officially released, XP support will vanish. Microsoft wants people to get off of XP since it's 7 years old. Windows 7 will be a good enough reason for most companies/users to make the switch.
