I upgraded to 7 this past weekend.  As much as I criticized Vista, one thing it never did for me was crash or hang.  After I installed 7, using Acronis TrueImage to restore my data via external USB drive completely froze my PC dead on several occasions.  I backed-up and restored data may times with Vista without ever having a problem.  With 7, lockups galore when pushing the USB bus.  I fixed my problem by getting an eSATA connector and jacking into that instead of USB.  I don't see the perceived speedup of 7 as some users claim, but I do notice that Explorer isn't quite as twitchy, and the object tree doesn't snap around so much when I'm dragging stuff over.  Other than that, it looks & works exactly like Vista.  ANother side effect I'm not pleased with is the nVidia drivers that ship with 7 make my monitor randomly blank out for 1-2 seconds every couple of minutes.  Very annoying but I can live with it.  Didn't do it under Vista.
