Windows 7 is a great OS and when Microsoft works out the bugs, and software/hardware companies work out compatibility issues, then I think migrating to 7 will be less of an issue. As James said, it took a while for XP to become a stable/reliable choice for 98/ME/2000 users to migrate to. The same will be true for 7, but I think that Vista will soon lie in silent on the recovery partitions of those who have upgraded to 7 and forgoten in 2 years. Vista was a hoax anyways http://www.bbspot.com/News/2009/01/ballmer-vista-joke.html Big corporations and die hard consumers are still holding on to XP because it is a solid operating system and compatibility was never an issue for a long time.

It is hard to lose. I dual boot it for hardware not supported by Vista/7. It also is being done in Virtual Machine on Virtualbox whenever they get their bugs on 7 ironed out.

In the case of xp versus windows 7, I may say with many critics knocking on my door that xp is old but a goodie, and windows 7 is new and still has potential as time progresses for improvement.
