I run Windows 7 Home Premium, a combination of 64 bit (laptop), 32 bit (desktop).

I love Windows 7! Makes my work computer almost obsolete with Vista on it.

Ha, we're all still using XP at work. I can get along with that. It's Vista that's not easy to get along with for me.

XP gets the job done. I think it will be a long time before the gov steps up to 7.

Running 5 PC's and have Ubuntu, Win 7, Vista and XP Pro by necessity because of older accessories like my Canon scanner that has no 7 drivers.

Windows 7 is just great! I really enjoy it.

I am running Ultimate 64bit.

I use it for gaming and photography work and I can't complain at all.

I have a Canon Canoscan 8800F and I use Vuescan when scanning slides and negatives because the software gives me much greater control than the Canoscan software. The problem is, Vuescan does not work on Windows x64.

With Windows 7, I installed the optional (and free) virtual PC from microsoft and run the Vuescan software in a virtual XP session under windows 7.

It gives my 100% backwards 32-bit compatibility without having to run another physical computer.

XP when I am forced to use Windows. Otherwise I avoid all versions of it like the plague.
