Put it on my and my wife's pc's last week and seems to work well. However I do seem to have some firefox freeze problems that the screen goes light and it takes a while to clear. On my better half's machine, when the screen saver comes on the only way to wake is to hit control alt delete. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Chrome runs VERY smooth on my system, I've given up on FF. I've not had any problems with my screen saver. What version are you running?
I wanna be "that guy" and say it first: OSX > Windows
Having gotten that out of my system, I'm actually considering installing Win7 on a spare HD and trying it out. My brother just bought a copy and my best friend also got one. I hear nothing but good things about Win7.

Same here! Made a switch about a month ago, and Chrome is so much quicker . . .

No need to, it's a Windows 7 thread, not a which OS is "better" thread! No need to start that mess of a thread . . .

But, I've been running Win7 on a virtual machine, and I must admit that is a great departure from Vista and seems like a good Windows OS. But the verdict is still out, since people hailed Vista when it first arrived.

I didn't. It sucked on day one. I had it on my system for three days, went back to XP until today.

Ultimate Vista wasn't terrible at anything other than memory management. Windows 7 is VERY good at memory management. Just consider Vista to be ME and 7 to be XP and you'll get the picture.
I upgraded my home machine from Vista Ultimate 32bit to Win 7 Ultimate a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't stand Vista, but so far I am impressed with Windows 7. I haven't had any problems with the common apps I use, though I haven't really put Premiere Pro through it's paces since upgrading.
In addition to improving the stability of apps from Vista, they also cleaned up all the small UI items that bothered me in Vista.
My plan is to do a complete reinstall so I can move to the 64 bit version and add at least another 4GB of RAM.
