I'm probably a little late to the party, but a few words here about win 7.
I have been using xp since it came out, and just a couple days ago I installed win 7 pro (32bit due to me only having 2gb mem). Only needed a few drivers/updates to get everything working. So far very happy with performance, seems win7 has better multitasking, like loading one program won't slow other program to a crawl. Aero preview taskbar is nice too. Awesome visuals too and "library" with favorites folder.
Few issues I had: had to add "everyone" user to be able share a folder on network.
Also realtek driver issue where I had to plugin different slot.
Luckily I'm a CS student and got a free legit copy through MS academic alliance
