Point taken John,
With XP's long life Hardware changed quite a bit during it "era"
I think it would struggle on some of the XP machines I've worked on recently, 180MHz Celeron's with 256MB ram and 40GB Hard disks , mind you XP isn't exactly lightning fast on those specs .
When it comes down to it most non business users will Upgrade when they purchase new hardware so should have a smooth out of the box experience, which is where I personally think what we've seen of Seven improves on Vista at the same state of development ...
and Seven should have a smoother ride in the market unless the major OEMs decide to offer downgrades to Vista for $150 extra
