Windows 7 may still have some of the inherent Window's problems left, but in my mind it is still the best OS that Microsoft has released yet. Or will release, anyway. While I've used Ubuntu and OSX, Windows is the only TRUE PC platform out there right now, and that's a very important aspect of Windows to me.
3 copies of Windows 7 for $150 isn't too bad anyway, assuming you actually need/want Windows 7.

I have six computers at my house. One has no OS (haven't decided what to do with it yet), one runs 98, one runs 2000, and three run XP. None of these computers have enough RAM for Wiindows 7. (But two of them could run Vista Basic, albeit slowly). Personally, I don't need any of the features Windows 7 has to offer. Therefore, I don't see a need to buy a license to upgrade to it or buy RAM to make my computer support it. XP does everything I need, so I really don't want to spend the money 7 requires now.
Bascially, if I get a new computer soon, it will come with Windows 7, and I will be happy to upgrade to an OS that is less than 8 years old. Otherwise, I don't see a need to move from XP.
As far as Apple is concerned, I really don't like their communist attitude of not letting you install Mac OSX on any computer that they don't sell, so you won't see me with an Apple machine unless I get one free or cheap.
Then there is Linux. I think its fun to play with (that might be what happens to the OS less machine), but it is a tad more difficult to configure and use than Windows, so for me, it will be nothing more than a toy until it has matured a little more. Props to it for being free, though.

Of course it's far from being perfect, it still has some problems, for example it keeps forgetting my keyboard configuration, it ask for permissions for everything (it's worst than Linux) and of course you have to learn your way around it, since several things have changed.
I also plan to install Ubuntu 9.4 (you can have both) I think it's a pretty robust OS and it helped me a lot during my windows crisis.
The only thing that keeps me of switching completely to Linux is the games, Linux doesn't has Direct X and that just ruins the fun for me :)
