Compatibility with Windows seems a lot better in 7 compared to 6, both as host and as guest. They also seem to have added a number of features such as secure boot. It seems that there was quite a time gap between 6 and 7 so a whole lot of changes built up.
Whether those things matter to you, or not, is in the eye of the beholder.
