I must confess that IE7 has lured me away from Firefox, nice browser.
I've been using it(beta version with Office 2007 also) on and off on a dual boot machine at home. I think most users will like it in the end. I've been to a few seminars about it also, The way it searchs for files is better, but other than that it will sell on its appearance to people that like shiny things(aeroglass). 1Gb ram is b*llshit, I'm running on a 2GB processor(AMD) and 768MB Ram and it's quite happy, you'll need a 128Mb video card if you want it to work though. Every new OS released has had higher requirements, Vista is simply matching what's readily available on currently available machines(that said my main PC at home is a few years old too, but it runs OK).

When I'm forced to by work I'll change over fulltime at home(I'm an IT teacher so its sort of important to me) . Till then its XP and Firefox.
