I'd like to give Win 7 a year out before I want to try an adopt it, but chances are I may be purchasing a laptop before that point anyhow, and it might come with it. My hardware is getting aged (2.5 years), so forward support is going to go down, and if my Vista experience has anything to compare, it won't be easy getting everything working.

But in this case, W7 doesn't feel like crap -- it feels pretty nice in fact.
