Went from vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit... VS/resharper/sql etc...no problems yet. :-)

Ditto. A few niggles with some bits, but on the whole, well worthwhile.

Much better than Vista, or rather this is what Vista should have been in the first place.

I'm running 64 bit on one of my machines and only issue i had was installing Visual Studio before SQL. VS put some SQL components on that my Action Pack version of SQL2008 64bit didn't like. Had to manually remove these before it allowed me to continue the install. No real bother though.

But whether thats 64 bit related, i dont know, but didn't run into the same thing on the 32bit laptop installation i'd done previously.

The windows key + left or right is my favorite new hotkey in win7... expands the current window to the left/right...kinda like multi-monitor in a way..so you can have 2 windows on 1 screen...magic

I have an MS Dev environment running on Windows 7 64-bit. The only issues I recall were having to install a few extra patches for SQL Server (which it warns you about anyway), but that was down to Windows 7 itself rather than it being a 64-bit platform.
