Windows 7
Garth Bock:
Microsoft just announced today that you can download Windows 7 V7100 which is basically the final version before release. Instead of expiring in August of 2009 like version 7011 does, this version lasts until June of 2010 !!!
And now for the dark cloud inside the silver lining.
If you run this version and don't buy your real copy until after March....well your computer will start shutting down every 2 hours.

My Win XP Pro does just fine. Until I am forced to upgrade. I will keep what I have.
DanS:
Ditto here. XP pro and IE7 haven't let me down or given me problems so I see no reason to jump into problems either.

WARNING! - When I clicked on the link provided in Chief David's post it immediately opened multiple windows "offering" "Strongly Recommending" that I should allow the site to "Scan your computer " because it was infected wth viruses and adware that could damage its performance.
Fortunately I was able to shut down IE7 quickly and the scan I did afterwards revealed no infections, malware or adware.
BEWARE!
