Windows 7 ?

Anybody here have experience with Windows 7?
I've currently got XP (Media center) running on a 2.8gHz dual processor dell.

Started looking into bumping up RAM (from 1G to either 2 or 4), and one of the IT guys at work suggested that W7 would improve performance. Particularly if going to 64-bit.

I ran the MSFT "analyze my system for W7 compatibility" thing tonight, and didn't see any alarming info - but should I expect to?

Anyhow, if anybody has any good or bad experience - or pointers, I'd be interested.

I'm guessing the worst of this whole thing will turn out to be the "clean install" related crap that goes along with trying to keep all of my good stuff (files, and the applications that I actually like) while ditching the junk that causes slowness.

I'm sure this would turn into a weekend full of my kids learning new vocabulary.

So... is it worth it???


Thanks much.
