Windows 7 is sweet. It is what Vista should have been. One of the problems with Vista when it first came out is that Microsoft wanted users to upgrade their older hardware such as printers and sound cards to newer versions and they did not create drivers for the old stuff. When users installed Vista they found out things did not work. Programmers had to change their programs around and in the business world companies did not want to do that. I know ours did not want to change.
Microsoft listened to the users and the business world and made 7 more like XP.
I work in the tech support department and a couple of our guys have been playing with the last two releases of Windows 7 on their lap tops and they love the program. They say it has the feel of XP but the speed of Vista. They have not been able to lock it up and they tell me that they can't wait for the final release.
Myself, I will be placing my pre release order for Windows 7 Pro this week.
I think I will get the beta of Office 2010 (aka Office 14) and load it on a test PC at work and see what it is like. There was a BIG jump in going from Office 2003 to 2007 so I don't know what else they can change.
Saying all that I would get a lap top with a good processor and as much memory as possible and go for Windows 7.
