Using Windows 7
Well, I was able to attain a copy of Microsoft Windows 7, and let me say, I like it so far.
Right now, I'm running it inside a Virtual Machine, so I cant really tell you much about how its interacting with my hardware.
The new task-bar is really cool. Right now I'm downloading Pidgin so I can use some instant messenger with IE8. The background for the IE8 task-bar icon is now a download progress bar, which I find to be really cool. If I hover over the icon, a list of the open tabs appears, and I can control the tabs from there as well. I can't wait to see how other browsers are handled with that.
One other cool thing are the window "movement" functions. If I have multiple windows open, I can grab the title bar of one and "shake" it with my mouse, and the other open windows minimize. If I "shake" the window again, the other windows appear back where they were.
Well I'm going to play around with it a little bit more, and will probably end up making it into a dual boot soon. I bid thee with a little eye-candy. It is from my VM, so it will look crappy. :(

Ya see in the picture where the IE logo is down on the taskbar? The area behind it would be the download bar.
