MSDNAA gave me Win 7 pro recently, before that I had Ultimate RC. I use the x64 and x32 on my 5 year old laptop (works GREAT amazingly, even with aero). I whole heartedly recommend the upgrade, its light years ahead of XP and what Vista should have been. That being said, networking is better but still iffy, and file browsing, while improved, is still clunky. Funnily enough, Windows 7 appears to be a lot more backwards compatible than Vista.

Also, based off the responses so far and from other experiences, it seems Windows 7 is free ; ) which is a big plus, it really undercuts the linux crowd lol.

I am running ultimate right now but do not use that many features. I am not sure right now what I will get. Whatever it is will be 64 bit.

Tomorrow is the big day. My copy is shipping from NJ so i should have it here hopefully by Friday. I decided to go Pro this time mainly because i have Vista Ultimate and i really didn't use the extra features plus the 35 language packs. Look forward to getting it and setting up XP Virtual Mode. :D

I can get Enterprise from my university for free. Enterprise is just the volume license version of Ultimate.

Just got 7 installed. It did it very quickly, probably only 30 to 40 minutes.

I ordered two copies of W7Pro when they were 50% off. Upgraded Vista Ultimate to W7Pro and still have another copy to use in the future.
