I still use WinXP - I'm partly change averse, and partly find some things in Win7 (which I have on my laptop) more clunky than WinXP.

I happen to be in windows explorer a lot between everything I'm up to, and all of these features linked look terrific and will make me much more productive. So count me in as excited for a new Windows launch for the first time in a while.

I added Classic shell ( http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/features.html ) to Windows 7 to fix some of the clunkiness. With classic shell you can fix some of the weirdness/newest of Windows 7 explorer while getting to use some of the new features.

I'm so change averse that I still use the classic start menu (+1 for muscle memory) but Windows 7 is such an improvement over XP that's it worth moving to.
