75. Several thousand users at my work happily cruising on XP

No immediate plans to move to 7; that will probably be driven by driver requirements of newer hardware, but so far our major supplier, Dell, has been very accommodating in providing backward compatibility on their latest machines.

I have have 7 on my machine at work (I can do that cuz I'm the IT guy) and on all but one at home. I found 7 has returned some significant performance improvements over XP on the same box. BUT, getting an XP box to see a shared drive on a Win 7 machine can be a bit of a PITA.
