The RAM and XP question

[frogbeastegg]

I really, really hope you aren't compelled to pay full retail for Win7. Work your connections! Call in favors! Make absurd promises!

The best I could manage was the discount for buying online.


So. Anyone know of a decent rough guide to 7? Looks like a lot has changed in terms of UI and function locations. There's always a tonne of useless junk to disable or remove after a windows install; a guide to that would be nice too.

There are fairly useful:

I think you'll get to like Win7 pretty quickly.
