I moved to Win 7 last November, just on my "music machine", still run all other apps on my older XP machine.

Win 7 caused a serious issue with lack of drivers, at first. Actually, it eventually killed my ProTools system since Pro Tools has never established Win 7 compatibility and Digitech at the same time announced it was no longer supporting the MBox. So I had to invest in a new interface. Picked up a M-Audio PCI card for which Win 7 drivers are available. Moved on to REAPER which is actually a fully 64Bit DAW. Lost a few VST plugins along the way - though have been able to find workarounds using REAPER 32 Bit version.

Bottom line, it has been a little work, but I would not go back. For anything I lost, I also gained something new. And I'm very happy with the way Win7 operates.
