As someone who recently moved from XP to 7, my review can be summed up as "it works".<p>Feels just as fast as XP, and the new UI is a neutral/positive change. The best feature is the configurable systray settings (always show, always hide, hide but show notifications).<p>Admittedly, I use my desktop for video games and internet, and 7 seems to work great for that (as opposed to the launch version of Vista).<p><i>edit</i> Forgot to say that "good enough" may not be good enough to restore faith in Windows for those burned by the Vista launch, but if you bought a new computer and it had 7 no tears would be shed. That alone might be enough to keep users.
