Anybody know since with the advent that 32bit platforms can only use less then 4Gb of ram, will they overcome this limitation in windows 7?

I have a sneaking suspicion that windows 7 will be like windows XP while the current vista will be the pariah Windows ME coz i dont really like vista due to its sluggishness. Also it was rather buggy in the beginning and did i mention the fact that it is resource hungry?

Another bad thing would be that many programs out there are still not yet ready for vista such as in the niche market where software developers are still in the process of upgrading their software for the vista platform.

I hope those software which can run in vista will have not problem porting to windows 7 coz i have a few programs which still require windows xp and the software developer is due to deliver a vista compatible program by early 2009 but then windows 7 will come out at best at the end of 2009.

Damn, i had hoped they would port to 64bit so that can solve the 4gb ram problem.

I know that 32bit OS have the 4GB ram limit, what im asking is will Windows 7 still be coded in 32 bit or will it be 64bit?

I woner if windows 7 will be offered as an upgrade to current vista users since its more of an overhaul and performace driven vista rather then a new OS. Hopefully they will offer this to current vist users as a comprehensive upgrade for a nominal fee.

I also looking forward to 64bit platform to fix the 4GB ram limitation.

What im really interested in would be how windows 7 will be sold. Will it be a totally new platform or sort of an upgrade from vista?

Coz most ppl are using vista right now and from what i've seen, windows 7 is more like an make over of vista rather then a totally new OS. Hopefully current vista users will only need to pay a nominal upgrade fee for windows 7 for current vista users.

I bet ALOT of ppl would be very pissed of if windows 7 would be marketed as a totally new os with a brand new OS price tag.
