I am typing this in 7 on a laptop designed for 2000 or xp - low-spec.
I upgraded it from vista last night.
It now seems to work faster than with vista, and tbh, it wasnt that wonderful with xp.
So, overall, I'm impressed so far, and will be upgrading my desktop too.

There's no cost involved luckily, cos I have a msdn licence, but unfortunately the useless corporate I work for is still only running xp at work, so I rate this as 'necessary development' !

No matter how bad it is,it can't be worse than vista.I am still running xp on all 4 computers!!

I've been using Windows 7 for months now and for me it worked right out of the box. No upgrade path from XP so it will mean a full backup and restore of your data, even MS recommend that a clean build is the way to go for those with Vista.

Conclusion

I'm one of those Windows bashers but when it comes to desktop / laptop computing environments it's pretty much the only way to go, we are now seriously thinking about a OS refresh program at work.
