I plan on putting a new motherboard, processor, video card, and ram in my build just after SP1 hits the shelves. That will effectively upgrade me to a dual core processor, PCI-E, faster ram, and a new sleek OS. Although it may be bloatware right now, within a year or two all of the computers will effectively handle it. Unfortunately, no matter how bloated the OS may be, it is the will of Microsoft and unless you go to Mac, you're pretty well screwed in the long term.
