But I would also be aware if I were you that according to a posting in the Register, that if upgrading (verses a hard drive wipe and a fresh install) people are having to remove Itunes and Google toolbar for some unknown reason. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/21/windows_7_reader_reviews/
also, XP is still superior in my eyes for the purpose of gaming, but if its a choice strictly between vista and 7 for gaming, go with 7
so yea, cliff notes: Win7 > vista, but not for gaming, and you should upgrade if you have vista and don't mind spending the money.
EDIT: also, if you are getting a new computer with Win7 on it, keep Win7, its totally worth it then.
Have been using some form of windows 7 since about June, and the links in texts

M$As I haven't got it, I cannot say about the performance and battery life - but from reviews I believe that it is definitely positive and visually Windows 7 is beautiful.
I love the quote from Engadget: "Windows 7 was able to tally up more sales in the first 8 hours of pre-order availability than Vista was able to collect altogether."

I have been running W7beta and now W7RC on three dell systems (all three years old). Since I registerd for the launch party, I got a Signature edition W7U and have already installed it and like it a lot. It is the best Windows OS with lots of new features.
I miss a few features from XP - like video capture using movie maker. for some reasons W7 version doesnt support that.
I used Vista U and the only annoyance I had like everyone else was the UAC, I didnt have any compatibility issues. Otherwise, Vista is a good OS.
Do you mean the Vista nightmare is over? God I hate Vista!
Oh wait a minute - Can I update my old Vista with Windows 7? I am soooooo not a computer geek :-)
Speaking of helpless, how DO I get that little "Tip spatulas_corkscrews for this answer" do-hicky to show up in my answer? I want one too!
I am so needy. *slinks away into a corner*

It's the best Operating System I've used in my life. I also have OS X 10.5.8 installed on a computer but Windows 7 is just fantastic. I love it.
If you use a computer with Windows you should not hesitate to go out NOW and get Windows 7. You will not be sorry!

I'll back up my whole system first, but I'll definitely be trying it. I have friends who were beta testers and got their versions that way, and they like it.

I highly doubt there will ever be an operating system that people will be completely satisfied with, but Windows 7 is definitely a step in the right direction. Microsoft seems to have learned from their mistakes they made with Vista, and they have payed attention to the complaints people had. I think it's a strong operating system, and it seems to run very smoothly and efficiently.

I was worried more about my wife using Windows 7 than myself, as my wife seems to take to change a little worse, at least when it comes to computers, than I do. I have to say, she enjoyed using it so much that after only a few days, she asked me to remove the dual-boot between Windows 7 and Vista that I had set up for her and she has used nothing but Windows 7 since.
It's major changes like the new/improved taskbar, to little things like being able to watch internet tv via Windows Media Center that honestly make having Windows 7 enjoyable. It's nice to not have to deal with uninstalling Windows Mail before I install Outlook (as Windows Mail is part of Windows Live Essentials now).
To those who are sitting on the fence whether they should upgrade, I say do the upgrade! If you're already running Vista, going to Windows 7 is going to be an easy transition for you. If you are one of those people who are still running Windows XP, it's time to let XP go into that good night and join those of us using a modern operating system.

The only problem I encountered maybe is I have to reinstall some drivers again. But I think it's worth it. ^^

Ended up getting the Ultimate edition, probably don't need most of the features but wanted everything either way.

M$the new uac is better, and some of the new aero features, like aero peek, and aero shake, are very helpful.
the performance upgrades are noticeable, and the visual upgrades have done alot for it.
i think we might have the best windows platform yet
