Going to wait till December, to see the feedback of the general public first!

I am a 100% Mac user, Win7 runs under vmware here, and gets loaded incidentally to compare html5/css3 code in - but that's it. osx works for me, so sticking to it. no need to go with 7.

Been using it since the public beta was first released in January. No crashes and usually 18-30 days uptime with no slowdowns. It is only rebooted if there is a Windows Update. With XP, I'd be lucky to get 7 days of uptime. 10 days with Vista.

I will have fun with it though. Have 4 computers to upgrade this weekend.

Yeah it's very stable, clean and fast and I have not had a single issue with it since I started using it. One thing I wish they would address though is the forcing of a shutdown after updates, you can postpone but not simply ignore until manual restart, they should really add that. For now I run up a command line and type in net stop "windows update" which does the trick though.

is there anywhere i can download windows 7?

You could make a desktop shortcut with that command as the destination and bypass the command line. The reboot is a pain sometimes. I have my machine to check updates at 2:00 a.m. so am rarely on when it does the update. Come to the desktop afterwards and log in from sleep mode and find out then. Luckily for me I have my applications set for Auto-Save. That saves a lot of work.

Windows 7 performs better and takes up less space on my computer than XP does.

So windows 7 will run faster on my single core 3200 AMD with 1.5 gigs of memory then XP does?

Here are some benchmarks of Windows 7 vs XP http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=22006 I think you will find it surprising.

I upgraded yesterday.. it took about 3 hours, I think that the 3 Tb of data existing on my system was the major bottleneck - transferring it took aaaages. :)

That was an upgrade from a Win 7 RC.
