Win 7 is ok. At the driver layer it's really similar to vista, overall. Speed improvements in the gui are nice, and it's benchmarking slightly better, so that's good. Still lags a bit behind xp on my hardware, but not bad.

I have a mac, and like it also, as does my wife. Just works... of course, I'm an IT guy, so half my pc's are always in some state of rebuild or repair.

Can't say either of the mac laptops have given me problems. Nor the AIX box. Nothing runs like my NeXT (17 years and still ticking... though it's boxed up at the moment, ran out of space).

The only OS I get really frustrated with is Linux, it's so near to great as a Unix, but falls short in so many little ways. Oh, and vista64 when I ran into a case where the side-by-side manifests got corrupted, and no 32bit apps would run... including all the installers MS kept recommending to fix the issue. Rebuild was the only solution, in the end.

Wow, did I ramble. Yeah, so far Win7 seems OK. lol
