Microsoft steps up its business push for Windows 7, related products

Why do I want Windows 7?: This is a serious question. I've been using XP Pro for a while now, and am pretty happy with it. It works well, and doesn't seem to give me many problems.

I don't understand what Windows 7 brings to the table.

I don't have security issues (I've never gotten a virus, and the only other malware I've ever attracted are the occasional tracking cookie).

I don't play games much, so DX9 seems sufficient.

The only attraction I've seen so far is the addition of a time quota system. If I really wanted this, I suppose I could go third party, but I've decided I'll go with quality parenting with my children, rather than using a technology solution.

The only other reason I can see for moving to Windows 7 would be periphrials that lack XP drivers. So far this has not happened to me.

What else is there?
