Has MSFT provided any new info? The last I heard is MSFT would
probably offer VM emulation for XP on higher end versions of Windows
7. Any word on the Home versions of Windows 7? Any idea when it may
start shipping? I wonder if MSFT will offer a free upgrade for those
who do not want Vitsa?

Thanks.
