Just curious who are keen on a Vista or Office 2007 upgrade. Even if not immediately, I think from a gamers point of view, the lure of DX10 is far too strong...not to mention the upcoming DX10 cards :)
For some tantalising insight as to what DX10 will enable, check out the demo of the CryTek Engine (

As for Office 2007, IMO it is an awesome improvement to its predecessors and far outshines any of its competition. Ive only been using the beta2 and I'm mightily impressed. Unlike Vista, they MS seems to have a very creative and lateral thinking team on Office 2007. That one is definitely a must for work/uni purposes(they can pay for it too lolz) :p
