I installed Windows 7 two weeks ago. It's really, really nice.
I did have some stability problems right after the install: One of my two video cards was a PCI graphics card that was over 4 years old, and NVidia isn't making 64bit Win7 drivers for it. So, after a quick trip to Fry's, I updated the most recent NVidia drivers, and I'm golden.
The OS seems beautiful and well thought out. It's nice to see MSFT get a little religion about design. It ships with a lovely command line/scripting language called PowerShell 2. I've been using Powershell 1.0 for a year or two, and I'm really happy with the updates. The integrated Powershell IDE is actually quite nice.
Did I mention that the OS was free? MSFT's Bizspark program for startups lets you have access to almost all MSFT's software library for 3 years at a cost of $100 at the end of the program.
It actually makes me think about doing Windows desktop development using IronPython + .NET. At very least, I'm definitely going a desktop widget for my web app.
