Every laptop/desktop that ran Vista in the past few months that had an issue got bumped up to Win7 beta. I have had less problems with it and it fixed a lot of little issues people were having with Vista.
I ran Vista for quite some time both 32/64 versions. I didn't have any real problems with it on my desktops, however, it was noticeably slower on a laptop with the less powerful cpu and drive speeds. Win7 although has many similar functions just 'feels' better to most people that I have running it now.

We will go with 7 as soon as I have time to finish testing and it is released. Most will be moved to x64 if 1) the hardware supports it and 2) if they don't give me an issue to do the install. I hope to reclaim some of the resources lost to Vista without the extra cost of replacing or expanding. Those on XP are looking at being put on TS long term.

In addition, most of us would use a Windows desktop, in one form or other, on a personal system to access and/or administer corporate servers/networks.
