Just my opinion

Yoda makes an excellent point. My first computer was a Mac Plus back in the 80s. I've used numerous versions of PC windows software since and have always waited for the operating systems to be de-bugged. I was always glad I did.
My new Windows 7 machine was a gift, replacing my 7 year old XP machine, which was getting cranky. While I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, there were other reasons I felt comfortable taking the plunge: (1) Windows 7 is more a fix of Vista (which certainly needed fixing) than a new OS; (2) beta testing lasted longer and was open to millions-- all users who dared-- rather than just to elite geeks who know how to work around bugs.
If memory serves-- it may not
-- reports of bugs have always been immediate following the release of previous versions of windows. But this time, I've seen nothing but praise. (Of course, there could have been negative reports I haven't seen.)
So, while Yoda's advice is excellent, if you're looking for justification for making the switch, I'm giving you mine.
