Windows 7 is excellent. I put the beta on my laptop that had trouble handling Vista, and it ran like a well oiled machine. When RC came out, I put it on all my computers and also put the final release on all my computers. The new GUI, performance improvements, home networking functionality, and organization are huge improvements over Vista (which I actually happened to like.)
My wife is pretty much forced to use Macs because the school she works at gives a MacBook to everyone, and she actually came right out and said the other day that she prefers Windows 7 over her brand new MacBook. That actually speaks volumes because my wife is the type of person who couldn't give two shits what OS she's using. Mac or PC makes no difference to her---in her eyes, computers are computers and they are for work. So for her to outright declare her preference for Windows 7 is pretty weird.
It should also be said that some of the biggest Windows haters I know are falling in love with Windows 7 one by one. Microsoft played their cards right this time. Open beta/RC for 8 months, good marketing, a kinder gentler attitude toward OS development in general, etc. And I love that in the the post Windows 7 release Mac commercials, they really don't seem to have much to say about Windows 7. They just continue to make recycled PC jokes and don't tell anyone what THEIR OS actually does.
I'm happy for Windows 7. The praise is much deserved.
