Interesting article.  Some earlier articles indicated that 7 was going 
to be some kind of radical change from Vista and XP.
If 7 won't be much  different from Vista then I don't expect a general 
extension of XP licensing as I predicted earlier.  MS is stuck with 
something like Vista and telling the truth slowly that Windows users are 
going to have to go that way.  Those who can't or won't switch from XP 
to Vista are going to have to pay for both Vista and XP.
