I couldn't be happier than what I am with W7 64 thus far. Leaps of mountains better than Vista. Then again I went from 4GB to 8GB of RAM as well as a pair of SSD drives all at the same time. I have to contribute much of what I like to W7 though. A definite thumbs up... :T

I would have to say that win7 is nipping at the heals of Mac, its the closest they have ever been.

I never move to a newer Microsoft OS until they release the first service pack. I've heard good things about 7 from most people. The techy people (I retired from being a network engineer last year) I used to work with all say it's Vista as it should have been. I'm inclined to agree with them. Can't wait for the first "Service Pack" to be released.

I'd say the biggest improvements of Windows 7 (versus XP -- since Vista doesn't count as an OS!) -- are in Windows Media Center.

MS finally added some new codecs and Media Center is ALOT more usable than it used to be..

My only gripe about 7 is it's a little bit of a memory hog.... like 1.5GB sitting idle.
I agree, many of the bugs I ran into with 64 Bit Vista are gone with 64 Bit Windows 7. When I ran Vista I had frequent crashes and problems with my graphics that had since cleared up with Window 7.

I know a number of Mac users that have actually started using a PC again with Win7 as its a huge step in the right direction. Ive been using Win7 for about 5 months now and love it.

I'm running 2 rigs (1 htpc and 1 file server/internet) with win7 pro 32bit.... I haven't experience any problems with either one. The only one I had was a Samsung printer issues, but Samsung fixed its driver and is all good now ....
