I already have Windows 7 Professional on all my machines except for my Thinkpad which is my primary workhorse. The only reason why it's not on yet is because Lenovo won't release a compatible CSS client which I need.
I had 7 on on my netbook for about a month now and it's great and snappy. Sure start up is a bit slower than XP because of a slow harddrive. 7 Knows how to use RAM I have 2 Gigs and 7 knows how to use every ounce of it to make the machine feel snappy despite not having the latest dual core CPU and fast harddrive.
I was really unimpressed with Vista. Despite all the in your face security it was still a really vulnerable OS. I'm not saying 7 is tremendously better but they tweaked the approach to security and how users interact with the OS. Overall more snappy, productive, and less intrusive. It's a very polished OS.
Server 2008 is also a great OS, I have just deployed it for a client and boy it is much much faster to deploy than 03. Out of the box setup is much easier and faster too.
It's good to be an MS partner.
