Probably some of you guys already checked some of the reviews out there, so I'm just gonna share my experience.
The thing gave me a clean device manager (no yellow warning signs of unknown devices). The thing is VERY STABLE, no BSODs, sudden reboots or weird behavior. The exception is that there's a moderate CPU usage sometimes, and the start menu lags sometimes for some seconds.
The system resources usage, well it uses almost the same RAM as Vista, but it feels more lightweight when you use it.
About the UI, I changed the superbar settings a little bit (I don't like those big icons down there). The new window thumbnail selection stuff is very useful.
Well so far I've installed:
uTorrent ---> Works
Adobe Reader 9 ---> Works
DVD Fab ---> Works
7-Zip 4.64 ----> Works
AVG Free 8.0 ---> Works
CoreAVC 1.8.5 ---> Works
K-Lite Codec Pak 4.4.5 ---> Works
Office 2007 ---> Works (I didn't install Outlook, Access, One Note nor Groove)
Nero 7.11.10 ---> Works
Winamp ---> Works (I even installed some plugins)
Windows Live Essencials ---> Works (I installed Messenger, Photo Gallery and Writer)
PerfectDisk 2008 ---> Installer didn't recognize 7, and doesn't allow the installation.
That's all for now, I'll share my experience and issues with 7 with new posts.
So what about you guys?
