Well, since I was anti Vista and remained with XP on my main systems to avoid the entire Vista experience, which was totally rubbish IMO... W7 is fantastic from what I am finding for speed and stability thus far. We have Vista on one of our fairly new notebooks and it annoys the hell out of me, so I just avoid even using that notebook.
I haven't gone out and got a new operating system immediately since 95, which lets face it, that was a massive jump and improvement from 3.1 to Win 95... hence the immediate purchase. All others I have waited atleast 12 months before buying, 98, XP and even the one with Vista (ahhh), so that the majority of bugs and issues are resolved, developers have had enough time to actually get their versions out, etc.
That is the only issue right now, in that a good majority of software developers are still at Vista, so the majority of third party software installed is Vista compatible software, not W7 software. Living with that, though something to look forward too seeing changes in software over the next year.
So.... I absolutely love the new OS. Obviously a lot of work behind the scenes in getting this thing stable and fast... and it is fast. I read that MS had made a lot of changes to get more benefit from system architecture, though never took much notice of the words until I played with it. Well... they were right and it is a fast OS. Even runs on a good portion of netbooks that Vista wouldn't dream off doing, based on a chat the other day with the local computer tech guy. I'm impressed. You?
