I certainly plan to buy Windows 7 on release. I'm sick to death of XP, it really is showing its age now.

I am gonna get windows 7.
there is so many small changes compared to vista that i like.
sure some should of been done before such as saving settings before exiting explorer
I didn't like the new task bar at first but i like it now.
when read about the hover over for open applications I like it even more.

Absolutely no interest in Windows 7 here. XP runs all the games I want just fine, and WINE is starting to play them very well also. If DirectX 10 support eventually becomes a requirement, WINE will surely provide it eventually.

What else does Win7 provide that is of any use? My non-gaming systems consist of Ubuntu desktops and one XP install for music apps, where it also performs perfectly adequately.

No Win7 sale here.
