Actually, I do. There are no obvious defects in it as it stands. Nor
are there any defects in Vista, though driver support was woefully
slow to materialize.
And I bet the same will be true of Win7. I wonder how many engineers
at e.g. Nvidia are working on Win7 drivers right
1) You don't want Win7 right now. It will be a year or two before M$
works out the defects. Meanwhile you will you will be using XP, a
version that has been worked on long enough to have fixed many of the
worse defects.

I've been running the Beta for Win7 for a couple of weeks on a four year old
machine (HP Pavillion a720n- Athalon XP 2.2ghz). XP was due for a reinstall
so I thought that I would play around with Win7.
It runs OK except when iTunes gets going but that was how iTunes ran in XP
on that machine.

O Rlly? You and others keep telling us how 7 is little more than
Vista 2nd Ed. and Vista is many times more secure
Your statement (security) may only be true because it is new and no one has
built attacks against it yet.
Not so. Not running with admin rights by default, as you do with XP,
is much more secure, period. YMMV.
With Vista and 7, you run with reduced rights until you need to
perform an action

Given what security features that are switched on in Vista/Win7 when first
installed that were off by design in XP it isn't that high a hurdle to
jump.
Even so, this doesn't detract from the validity of the statement.

Okay, so it is buzzword compliant. But how does it work in the real

We do not define security by comparing said new version to XP. That
is setting the bar much too low.
Then we'll compare it to OS X...oh wait...that was taken out in seconds at
the last pwn to own contest...

Most vista drivers are supposed to work out of the box. So
far I only found one that did not, and it was HP which is
notoriously slow in releasing updates.
A friend of mine at work ended up buying another XP system when
the scanner vendor wouldn't supply Vista drivers

You of all people should know by now that when you install a new
version of Windows you should do it clean. Don't upgrade.
Besides, as I recall, you bought that (those?) machine(s) long after
