Cool. Once overclockers.co.uk clears my credit card payment (people 
nowadays are a bit paranoid once you pay with a credit card), there 
should be two Windows 7 Professional and one Ultimate on their way.

The Ultimate is to replace the Dutch XP 'genuine advantage' version I 
have on my computer, and the two Professional versions are for my wife's 
and son's computers, where there are, em, 'trial' version of XP running.

Really, XP is a perfect OS for me, both at home and on my office 
machine. I wouldn't run a serious server on Windows if my life depended 
on it, but on the other hand, I wouldn't run it on Linux either. That's 
just me, Solaris fanboy.

Given the mess that Microsoft made of Vista - I downloaded a beta 
version and go so annoyed that I gave up very quickly - I'm convinced 
that Windows 7 is going to be good.

Because Microsoft *can* write excellent software, it's just that 
development until fairly recently was aimed at killing the competition, 
rather than pleasing the customer. But now, with the European Commission 
looking over their shoulder, they can't do that any longer. And so, they 
have to compete on quality.

Eagerly awaiting the shipment...
