I have a Vista 64 and Windows 7 machine side by side that are fairly matched. The Vista 64 machine takes a good 4-5 mintues before the harddrive stops thrashing after boot. It makes it really really really really slow to launch an application or game. My Windows 7 box is ready to go in 1-1.5 minutes. Thank god for sleep on Vista 64 because if that didnt’ work the machine would be awful.

Media Center is my favorite
Media Center is my favorite feature of Win 7 – as well as lots of other peoples favorite feature 🙂 It’s enabled me to cancel 2 DVR boxes in my house, saving me over $40 a month on my cable bill. Best part was I built my Win 7 machine out of spare parts, bought 2 TV tuner cards (for a total of 4 tuners) for under $200 total, so after 5 months Win 7 has resulted in a positive savings for me.
