I wont be upgrading to Win7 until and/or unless it is proven to be better than XP in terms of useability, hardware compatability, and resource requirements.

In other words: If I cant fully implement it on mid-grade consumer hardware without driver issues, byzantine versioning/pricing, or overzealous security nags, then M$ wont be getting any of my hard-earned cash. Ill just finally go Linux.
