I don't have a Core2Duo and don't think my machine could handle it with its meagre 1gb of RAM. Have heard that its more search oriented and that's a good thing. But I guess part of my point is that more and more of the applications and tools we use now are online -- and so the start menu becomes irrelevant; if it skips straight to Google, Yahoo or Windows Live Search... well, that kind of supports my case :) I am looking forward to messing about with Aero, though.

The Start menu there is very heavily search-based (actually, the whole OS is), and I've found myslef using its built in search more and more. I’ve been using Vista for a while.
