From ChipChick.com…

Looking Ahead to Windows 7: “This week I met with Intel and Microsoft to discuss the upcoming Windows 7 launch. I’ve been testing out the latest release candidate for sometime now, and have been very impressed. Certainly, the new UI changes are spiffy, but what has impressed me most is how hast and responsive the OS feels – more so than my experiences with Vista, and even Windows XP. Granted, I am using a Core 2 Duo 3.06ghz system, which although already a year old, it is still considered to be a pretty fast processor.”
