Vista

Looks like Vista is out (as a beta). The 64 bit version is a bit
intensive at 4.4GB for the installation DVD.

I cannot imagine many people will be willing to spend the kind of
diskspace that Vista will demand. I imagine 4.4GB will blow up to
around 20 - 40 GB when it's installed.

Will there be enough room on the average laptop for Vista and Delphi?
Or for that matter, Vista itself? My laptop has a 40GB drive and I
cannot imagine Vista running on it - even though it is 64bit!
