They'll increment the kernel version later on, like how the XP looking Longhorn (Vista Beta) had a 5 in it.

i have to say windows 7 has been pretty impressive i havent played mxo yet under it but i ran it on VM Ware on my mac and it was the fastest windows to run under VM ware than Vista and XP hopefully this holds up through the full relase
That's basically it. The only problem I've come across is that the graphics lose textures with certain people. It only happens to me with two people though. So it's really not that bad.
The graphics are must more impressive than Vista, of course. There's no lag if you're running on proper settings. Everything works fine.

I'm reserving my full judgement until Rare's Vista patch is released 
And my rule of skipping every other Windows OS looks to be validated again 
Just a question maybe somene can answer? Anyone tried to run MxO on Linux?

I don't mind the slight hijack XD
I tried several different solutions for that
Cedega: Wouldn't start the login screen properly
Wine: Crashed after selecting a server when it tried to load the actual client window
Some cedega/wine alternative that I can't recall the name of: Same as Cedega
Granted this was during the summer, but I don't think much changed.

Its not surprising that Win7 has the same problems as Vista.
The vista issues 'seem' to be due to changes in the DirectX rewrite they did for Vista. Win7 uses the fundementally same DirectX as Vista so it would be logical that Win7 inherits the Vista issues.

I got to play with all of these except 1.0
1.0, 3.1, 3.11, NT, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7
Looks like Virrago probably jumped 4 first...so you can't have 7, you got to wait for something later. :p

MASSIVE EXPLETIVE HERE
*fixes*
I ran the beta on my Vaio for a bit. It was more stable then Vista, quite fast and less bloated. It ran MxO better then Vista did! I had less sound issues with 7. I may switch back.
9mmfu for Dev! =)
