Windows 7 is ok, anything is better then Vista.
Hmmm, can't say I share those thoughts. That bandwagon was full so I never got on it. Instead, I took a course and got certified in Windows Vista. Honestly, it is not much different than Windows 7 for running programs and compatibility. Sure it has some sparkly new stuff and the UI was changed some, and the User Access Control toned down (mistake), but overall they built on what they had underneath.
