I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate. There is no question that it a huge improvement over XP or Vista. The issue isn't that, but rather what issues Athena had / has with her Windows and if those issues will be addressed by Win 7.

Frex, color management has not even been discussed with this Windows but its media handling (MM) has been improved quite a bit.

What Win 7, especially 64 bit, has changed, is the performance equation even more. Dollar for dollar, the performance king is far and away Win 7. To get this performance in a Mac, I"d have to go Pro and even headless, the cost would be double what I have into this Win 7 box including the nice 24" Synchmaster display.
