Another data point: I swapped my main laptop from V32 to V64 soon
after getting it in early 2008. Very happy with the result.
Thought I would give some feedback on my decision.

Hmmm, I think it's going a bit far to say that it cripples a system. It
doesn't kill the machine, just the current session. Reboot
of the difference is probably new install vs old install.

Can't answer your question directly, but Windows 7 RTM is available on
MSDN today I believe.
So it's already out.
Don't know if that makes your decision easier or not. ;-)

I prefer vista, but the performance improvements that Win7 has almost
make it impossible to ignore (if you are currently running vista).
Delphi runs quite well on it as well. Although I haven't tried Delphi
