I LOVE Windows 7!
We may not be a Fortune 500 company, (and my bed may be in my office), but we're switching to Windows 7 as soon as it comes out.

We switched to Vista about a year after it came out because our computer died completely and we needed something ASAP. Vista (one of the Home editions) was the primary OS for about a day and a half before we installed our copy of XP and deleted it forever. As a graphic design / web design / web content firm, our version of Vista was not able to do what we needed it to (some of our rather important applications didn't work correctly), and--being a home-based business--we didn't have the money (or, really, the desire at that point) to go for one of the corporate versions.

We got in on the Windows 7 Ultimate Beta testing and are LOVING IT! It's very user friendly, and pretty darn fast.

There ARE still some bugs to work out when Windows Applications are continually pulling off a network at certain times (both iTunes and Windows Media Player don't always work correctly after my son hits the hibernate button on the keyboard--ah, the joys of working from home!), but it's nothing a quick restart can't fix.
