Well, let's see, millions upon millions of people use Microsoft products and there are tons of PC configurations and external peripherals that people are trying to use. Without a doubt, some people will experience issues.
And people with issues are 1). usually the ones who come to these sites to try to resolve them 2). Are the loudest. There are probably tons of people who are just happily plugging away with Windows 7 and aren't experiencing big problems. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q9550 2.83Ghz OC'd to 3.40Ghz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1, F12 BIOS Memory 8GB G.Skill PI DDR2-800, 4-4-4-12 timings Graphics Card EVGA 1280MB Nvidia GeForce GTX570 Sound Card Realtek ALC899A 8 channel onboard audio Monitor(s) Displays 23" Acer x233H Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard ABS M1 Mechanical Mouse Logitech G9 Laser Mouse PSU Corsair 620HX modular Case Antec P182 Cooling stock Hard Drives Intel X25-M 80GB Gen 2 SSD

Because it's new.
That said, I don't have many problems with it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.

Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality. |
