How well does Windows 7 run?

Ha, I've spent a week with Windows 7. Did I fall in love? Nope. All it is, is Vista II. The interface is just as horrific as Vista was. They should have an option to at least switch the XP's interface, instead of having a stupid virtualization feature to have it.
Does that mean you're going to get a PC now?

No, it means I am using Windows 7 on my MBP
BTW, Snow Leopard is Leopard II, so Im not sure what your point is...
so used to xp to really like the interface of 7 but it does run great and it is far faster then xp on the same machine and so far has never crashed. it works well at work where I have two windows apps that run all the time so it is just easier using windows.

I guess that means you're just going to stay with XP forever then. Because 7 (and even Vista) are very fantastic OS's that are very stable and fast. XP's interface looked like something out of fisher-price. The virtualization feature was simply for any "last resort" support where Compatibility Mode somehow failed. The UI is very easy to work with and vastly superior to XP's. I for one am glad they dropped the old classic taskbar. But even so, there are an endless amount of mod sites that will let you completely overhaul the UI if you really wanted.
And yes, as techmonkey said, Snow Leopard is just Leopard II.
Yeah, but I liked Leopard, so Leopard II is fine by me. I didn't like Vista, so Vista II doesn't sound so great.
What's your point, exactly?
I've used windows 7 a fair bit and I've been impressed. It's a win-win being able to dual boot into multiple OSes on apple hardware.

Sounds like you havent even used Windows 7. Dont knock it until you try it...that goes for anything.
