Think, they are working on the triple/quad dip. Get Win7 out. Some users
will invariable do:
1) Buy a system with Basic/Premium Vista sub version
2) Upgrade to Ultimate, still does not work right
3) Buy a XP and install it, happy until SP4 quirks it
4) Win 7 comes, need to have a Win7 only app, buy Win7
While not every user will follow above, each of above represents a purchase
or upgrade. The above could occur in 3 short years or less.
