I'm running the Window 7 Ultimate Rc with linux using Virtual box.
I don't think I'll be buying the release..... it doesn't light my fire. Just another version of Vista ( a bit like win 95 to Win 98.)
I think I'll just dual boot with XP for any apps that only run on Ms.
just my option

My biggest issues with Vista previously related to it communicating with other things on our network - if often did bizarre things network wise... with 7 I have seen nothing like that at all - it seems to play far better in a larger environment than it's predecessor .
I am using it full time at the moment and I have not yet found an application that will not run smoothly on it. (many apps I use where written for far older versions of windows as well as some very recent apps.)
As for a cheap upgrade.... don't hold your breath, I am hearing rumors it won't be cheap.

I have also found window7 to run quite nicely.
Better than vista and this running on a virtual PC running on XP so I would guess the full version will be even better and the 64bit version better again.
I only upgrade OS when work does but from what i've seen so far its worth the swap.
