I have the RC version atm, and I won't bother buying it since I'm getting a brand new iMac in a month.

I've had a copy for a couple of weeks, I don't know why, I got it sent earlier than expected! :\ 
 
I've been using the RTM for a while now, only difference is that I changed to 64bit. Pretty good.

I'll wait for 6-8 months to see if any bugs are found/fixed.

@RebelOne: My school is part of that, too. 
I downloaded W7 a few weeks ago, but deleted it almost instantly. Every time i wanted to watch a video, it gave me blue screen.

I've been using the release candidate for a while, and I like it a lot! Admittedly I am horribly biased against Vista because I got it when it was new and crappy, but 7 is still a lot better, even just visually.

I'll be buying a 32bit upgrade version for my notebook, which came pre-installed with Vista and so much crapware that I just decided to let it rot until I got Windows 7.  I'm definitely doing a clean install.

I plan on getting it eventually, but I haven't been having any issues with Vista 64bit.
 
Also, some of the people I know who use Windows 7 for gaming claim the Nvidia drivers are kind of crap right now, which isn't out of the norm.

I installed Ultimate Upgrade on my desktop PC's earlier,  I'm really liking it, it's my first experience of it and I'm mighty impressed to be perfectly honest.  
 
I have yet to install it on my HP Pavilion TX500z..

Think I'll keep using XP for a little while. Changing OS requires a lot of reinstalling and stuff I do not want to hassle with right now.

I'm getting mine in a few weeks when I get my new laptop. Havn't decided which version to go with but most likely I'll just go with the most basic one.

I plan on installing the RC version in VMware & testing my XP-based software with it first to make sure it still works. I won't rebuild my PC until I know for certain that all or most of my existing software (such as Acronis True Image, etc) will work on Windows 7.  Otherwise, I need to wait for the 3rd party vendors to come out with a release that supports Windows 7 before I can move forward.

if someone is home to sign for the package i'll have it today; paid 100 for the upgrade to Pro. No issues with Vista64 bit but might as well move on and it gives me a reason to do a fresh install. lol.

That's why I got in on the $50 pre-order deal. But then I cancelled that when I found out about the win741 one. I don't think I'd pay full price.

You read my mind... GTFO my head! >_>  (The MSDNAA part)
 
But seriously, Pro x64 is pretty awesome, waaayyy better than Vista.  Although part of that is probably the fact that my crappy budget laptop didn't actually meet the minimum requirements for Vista. -_-

I am getting a new PC this holiday season and I will probably get Windows 7 with it. By then some bugs should be fixed.

Yes, that's the win741 one I was talking about. Although I'm not a student, but I still have access to my edu address.

  Why would you get Vista instead?

Been just told yesterday that my job is going to get me a new computer since the one I am on sucks balls.  They said there waiting for Windows 7 before they buy it, which I'm told is Friday....  So it will be cool to see how good windows 7 is, but in all truth being a graphic designer it could never beat Max OS X.

I might have to reconsider my previous statement about continuing with XP now that I've seen some DX11 demos. Looks impressive...
