Even though Windows 7 is not yet in public beta, the release of the PDC version has really increased the interest around this.
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes actually has done a performance comparison between Windows 7 and Vista (RTM and SP1). Two things that surprised me were
1. Windows 7, even though it is in such a early stage, performed better in 3/4 scenarios
2. Vista SP1 performed worse than the RTM in almost all the scenarios.
Do note this was done on the 32-bit platform and not the x64 platform.
Vista is, without a doubt, the best version of Windows yet. That doesn't mean it's flawless: heck no. I've been running it since Longhorn, and I've had my fair share of grievances with it. But that doesn't mean it's not a step in the right direction.
