I have been using Windows 7 since the beta version for a few months
and no trouble yet. I now use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, have 16GB
of memory, and all programs zip around quite satisfactorily. I have
two daily backups - one to a Windows Home Server (which has also
worked flawlessly for the last one year), and one to an external
drive. I will upgrade my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 as soon as
Nikon make their programs compliant. I will stick to Windows for two
reasons:

 - much, much more choice in software - my computers are used for
everything from games to arcane financial modeling and data crunching
- none of my data suppliers here support Mac.

 - it is also comforting to know that your purchases add to the money
available for charitable purposes around the world. As my own country
is one of the beneficiaries, it should be supported.

Cheers
Jayanand
