Complaining that XP runs very old hardware better is pretty misplaced, imo. A computer that is over 3 or 4 years old is an antique already. After my machine gets to be 2 to 3 years old, I'm usually ready to upgrade and see what advances have been made in hardware. The important point is that 7 runs fantastic on moderate performance machines. It runs great on my 2 year old laptop. It doesn't seem important or impress me that XP might run better on an underpowered antique or use less ram, especially since ram is so cheap now. Jmo.
