"Windows 7 will be more than just a better interface. Under-the-hood changes will allow chips from Intel, Nvidia, and Advanced Micro Devices to ratchet up Windows 7 performance above previous Microsoft operating systems. Microsoft on Wednesday said it has finalized the code for Windows 7, set to ship with new PCs starting October 22. Improvements will include how Windows handles multitasking, graphics acceleration, and solid-state drives."

...I'm a die hard Mac guy running Snow Leopard at home.
I am not a fan of Vista or XP... But...
...truth be known, 7 isn't too bad at all... Well, what I have seen of it anyway...
I think Leopard looks a lot better, but then I am bias towards that look. There are some nice enhancements and speed improvements too...
There is a lot to like about 7. I am sure there will be install issues for it for a while...
I think the Windows guys out there will be happy with the improvement in speed if you are coming from Vista. If you are coming from XP, I would move over too. If you are coming from 2k3, I would stay right where you are :-)
Oh, the Mac guys out there are going to like the little improvements in Snow Leopard too. It's not a big release like Tiger was, well, not to the user, but the speed improvements and a few of the nice little touches to the Dock are all welcome. Oh, the Printer stuff is very nice now, as is networking with Windows...
