hardly...

i'm not going to be looking at windows 7 till at least the first SP has been released and stick with the O/S I have in use now, which are..

Server 2003
XP Pro on 1 laptops and 2 desktops
Vista Ultimate on 1 Laptop (and it sucks - bench test before network upgrade)

The vista machine is the most problematic with networking, to the point its practically a stand alone now.

Microsoft has promised to patch a flaw in Windows Vista and 7 that could allow hackers to take complete control of the machine.

The company was alerted to the flaw after security researcher Laurent Gaffie produced exploit code which showed how Microsoft's SMB2 network file and print-sharing protocol could be hacked to allow attackers to hijack the machine.

The exploit was initially used to bring on the dreaded blue screen of death, however Microsoft later admitted that it could also be used to remotely execute malicious code on vulnerable machines
