it means putting as the release gap between major version is becoming narrower and thus its now been seen every release as minor revision on top of the main ones

If I'm not much mistaken, Windows 7's final release will not use NT.

Windows releases starting from Windows XP were all using the NT kernel. Windows XP is NT 5.1, Windows Server 2003 is NT 5.2, Windows Vista is NT 6.0, Windows Server 2008 is NT 6.1, and Windows7 is also NT 6.1  IINM the only non-NT OS Microsoft was developing is Microsoft Midori which is a singularity OS based on managed .NET code.

"ASUS CEO: Windows 7 touchscreen Eee PCs in mid-2009, $250 model on the way"
What does that mean ? Meaning Windows 7 release in mid-2009 ? Which means the 'alledged internal release date of June/July 2009' is real ?
oh wait... its just a rumor....

Super misleading title... or maybe I read it wrongly... So what use is releasing a PC that support Windows 7 when still no Windows 7 ? ... maybe just trying to prove to ppl that yeah, there are already Windows 7-capable machines

Thanks There is no official system requirements available, but if you can run Windows Vista, expect to run Windows7 faster than Windows Vista. There's even stories peoples are installing the beta on Eee PCs, so you can guess what the requirement will be.

Windows 7 BETA requires less resources(if not mistaken) its because its not full yet(services and stuff). I have seen people running this with only 1GB RAM and actually smoother than Windows Vista

I haven't seen people running Window 7 with 1GB of RAM but have tried running Windows 7 with 512MB of RAM.
