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.

:up:

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.

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.
