So is it just one big upgrade?

Haha, I agree dmex. My PC isn't ancient, but the general trend is that 7 runs better on systems less powerful. My WEI is 3.6... And it all runs better on Windows 7. I'm sure those with more powerful systems notice less of a difference. However, I find the fact that I don't even get significant slowdown when I'm doing heavy editing in Sony Vegas and have a gazillion apps open is wonderful. Normally I would disable aero and window composition in such cases for Vista, but not so for Seven.

Other Info
love my wacom pen and pressure sensitivity...
wished it worked in 7, SUSE for that matter though
Hehe, I usually have Sony Vegas, Adobe Fireworks(I use that with a bunch of plugins instead of Photoshop for photo editing, I think its more streamlined though not as powerful), GIMP(for anything that might not be in fireworks, almost as powerful as photoshop), AIM and MSN, and a bunch of tabs in SRWare Iron. Once in a while I'll have my Cinema 4D open as well, as well as Adobe AfterEffects. So yea, I have a bunch of stuff open XD

lmfao - funny, I beta tested Vista on a P4 3.2 GHz machine with 3 GB of RAM and a VisionTek x1650Pro AGP Video Card with 512MB of vram....Vista runs great on my current rig, but I know already in the little bit I used it that W7 is gonna run a boatload faster and it looks better and it is every bit as stable....
