He goes on to reaffirm Microsoft's commitment to PC gaming with the following statement.
We're happy there, and we're very mindful that there's a strong and vibrant PC gaming community out there," he said. "Not all console games lend themselves to the PC - when it is appropriate we bring games to both platforms, when it's not we don't, and that will continue to be the case.

From my look at W7 Beta I would have to agree, it's a lot slimmer than Vista. Think of it at Vista lite and you wont be far wrong.

Now if only the consoles supported DirectX 10 we might see some games that will stretch our PC's

New kernal, though. So far all my Vista drivers have worked <fingers crossed>.
