I have a similar Acer 17" laptop which came with Vista - it is now dual-

and something that a huge number of people already have in their homes.

Look at it this way, if you were in charge of MS would you abandon the
project on the possibility it's not going to take off, or would you get
your stake in the ground in case it does?
