@Matt: It’s not FUD (and I’ve been using Windows 7–mostly happily so–for close to a year now).

I expect the rollout of Windows 7 to go much more smoothly than that of Windows Vista, and probably smoothly by any standards. But every existing PC is slightly different, and some of them–a very small percentage, hopefully–WILL have issues with Windows 7. Many of those issues WILL be avoidable if you wait for them to be fixed before you install Windows 7. If that turns out not to be the case, I’ll eat my ThinkPad.

Matt,

Thank you for your support of Windows 7! Have you pre-ordered your copy of Win 7 yet? If you are planning on purchasing Windows 7 when it is released it may be helpful to know you don’t have to wait until October to reserve your copy of Win 7! You can pre-order your copy of Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional today. For more information, see the Windows 7 Pre-Order offer page here: http://tinyurl.com/nldc8p

Also, if you are currently a student you may qualify for the $30 upgrade to Windows 7. For more information, please go here: http://tinyurl.com/m7nyxa

Is there really any need to include that “showstopping bug” FUD? Anyone who has been using Windows 7 throughout the beta and RC periods knows that it has been remarkably stable.
As has been mentioned in previous comments, Windows 7 has been available for weeks now and many people are using it on a daily basis with no problems whatsoever :-)

All of my machines are fairly new, so I won’t be getting new hardware. I do have 2 upgrade copies on preorder, though.

I would, only if I needed a new computer. I just bought a copy of the OS.

Windows 7 has been available to Volume Licensing customers since early September; I’ve been using it on my primary laptop at work since the day it was available (as have a number of my coworkers and many thousands of other IT personnel). If there were any “showstopping technical problems” they would have become apparent a couple of weeks ago.

To anyone who is really happy with XP, I’d say there’s no pressing need to upgrade, but to anyone who has already made the jump to Vista, and for all the people buying new PCs, I can’t think of any reason not to make the move to Windows 7 as soon as it’s available.

Thanks for the mention!

We actually have a large waiting list of customers, and while they would have waited until Oct 22nd, no one minds Christmas coming early. We’ve been running Windows 7 at the office and at home since before the days of the RC Beta, and have had the RTM version for a few weeks now for final testing. We’ve been offering the RC for free with our builds since it became available, so we’re already accustomed to having “product” out on the field. We’re ready — I’ve never been more comfortable with a new operating system launch. Bring on the early adopters :)
