I like it so far too, have been running it since RTM on two laptops and a desktop. The desktop will be my main machine at the office within a few day once I do a few more installs and configs on it.

It is basically just a tightened up/revised Vista, amazingly people hate Vista and love 7, which I don't get. I find my Vista machines (running on appropriate hardware and drivers) a lot nicer to use than XP.

A lot of people may not remember, but the move from NT4 and Win98 to Win2k was just as rough if not more so than the change to Vista. Lots of hardware wouldn't work because it didn't have NT drivers, or NT drivers didn't work well because they weren't set up right, etc. Early adopters trying to use Win2k for games had a terrible time, probably about equal to early adopters of Vista using beta stuff for the new video driver model, etc.
