    Windows 7 Professional x64

    Main OS here. No issues so far, with games, IDEs like Eclipse, Visual Studio 2008 and NetBeans running smoothly, as well as every other program I tried (among others: Office 2010 TCP, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Blender)

    I've never been happier with a MS prerelease

    Swapped in a Fresh Drive for Clean Install and Runnin' 32 Bit Win7 Build 7100 Solo...

    I just swap out Cables to the Original Drive to Move programs around, so far, No Issues of Life Altering Nature...

    Initial Program Moving went Smooth, but found they ran Better if Downloaded Fresh from respective Sites (IE: Xfire, Combat Arms, AVG 8.5 Free, Cooliris, etc...) while others ran without Hiccup after Copying (Hoyle Puzzle Games and Everest Home Basic- The Later just want Admin to run Sensors)...

    Drivers Updated beyond my Original XP Settings on Install and Start Up, Printer Drivers needed Sorted from Manufacturer but the Lexmark was Painless (Took me directly to the Site thru a Link) and the Canon BJC needed a File Downloaded to get the Proper Driver which took a bit Longer, but in the end, I have more Control over my Printer Functions than I had in XP...

    It reads my Cobra 5.0 Megapixel Cam as a Webcam, which it does do, but haven't figured that one out yet (It's not actually working on 7 yet)... Haven't tried loading Office 2003 yet either, but it's planned for later this week...

    Otherwise, I'm Liking it so far and can't wait for the final product... Oh, and just what Build are we officially in anyway...???

    Sorry for the Length, just seemed like relatively important details... :)

    Ditto. That's why it got the bullet

    Seven's my main OS too now. Vista's a backup and is being used less and less.

    Been using Seven as my primary OS since 6801, booting with Vista SP2(x86) and Ubuntu 9.04. I'm used every single windows 7 build leaked(not counting x86 and x64 versions), except for 7022, up until 7100. I started using x64 with 7000, am not turning back.

    Am currently on 7100 and don't plan on upgrading till RTM unless major speed improvements or cool new features(such as glass right menus as rumored) are reported :P
