So today's the big launch day! I know there's a large number of people here that could care less, but I'm sure we have a few Windows users out there, and I'd like to know how people feel about this OS, and whether or not you plan to use it.

Personally? I think Windows 7 is more than just a polished Vista. Sure, it's partly that (mostly, maybe), but I've seen enough Vista installations to know that it's a huge improvement on that OS. I love the visual changes, and I love the new taskbar (I've always hated grouping, but now I like it, which is odd). Most of all, I do feel like it's faster than Vista was. On my netbook, I think it might even be faster than XP, at least that's the perception.

So I look forward to your thoughts. My hope is that we can keep this civilized for a while. I really want to get people's impressions of the OS before we break out the whole religious war smile

ps-option 2 in this poll assumes that you'll continue to use the betas/RCs or purchase licensed copies. I've been using the betas and preordered three upgrades, and chose the second option.
