skip to about 9mins in for the juicy bits.

the first PC he uses with a GIANT screen and fingerprint login is unreal. who's going to buy that? then the "normal" PC he uses seems like just a resource-intensive XP. non-gamers (i.e. people who don't upgrade graphics, ram etc. regularly) wont have the raw pc power for this

The majority will. These same people don't upgrade their OSes either, so the majority of people buying Vista will be getting a new PC bundled with it.
