Sure there'll be a small increase, but most people who bought a Vista machine won't buy a whole new Windows 7 machine as, simply put, there is no need to upgrade hardware unless you need an extra computer. Laptops are becoming increasingly popular and with good reason - you can be anywhere around the house and do what you want on the PC. Without sacrificing too much power unless you particularly need a high end PC for gaming or editing.

I'm due to replace my computer this year (darn desktop is now over 2 years old) and I haven't even shopped around yet. Budgets are tight and bank accounts are empty all around the US.
