If Microsoft ships Windows 7 for $99, how does this change the game? I would go out and buy it immediately for my Mac's VM.

  Note very much. The game changer would be 64bit Windows.

    Windows has had 64 bit versions available since XP. Just like Linux. Hell, I'm running vista 64bit on my desktop (well, I can dual boot into it) right now.

      Actually, there was a version of Windows 3.51 running on Alpha processors that was 64-bit-enabled (as the Alpha was 64-bit with no 32 bit legacy). 64 bits is nothing new. I read my e-mail on 64-bit computers back in 97 or so.

    I'm already running 64 bit Windows and while it was terrible when it came out, it's basically well supported now. What do you mean, 64 bit as standard?
