    In what ways is 7 a downgrade to Vista?

    Vista was a memory hog and Windows 7 wasn't since you could install Ultimate on netbook with 2GB of RAM on 1.6GHz CPU. So no issues doing that either. XP was good for what it could at the time upgrade from 2000. So now we have Windows 8.. I am looking forward to getting Windows 8 tablet. Android which I've been programming with since 2010 it's getting there. But still I am Windows guy and all my systems are Windows 7. Now that 8 coming out shouldn't be an issue to upgrade to it.

    I dont think it will be too hard to eliminate most of the metro crap, It wasnt with the developer preview

    Perhaps this has been addressed already, if you have the dev preview, will it update to the RC, or CP, Beta, or whatever they are going to call it? Or will you have to clean install?
