W7 is more similar to MacOs than any other version. Hard to see what they could have done Vista->W7 that makes you decide this, XP->Vista maybe but W7 is pretty good.

Is there any particular benefit/headache of going from 32bit to 64 ?
Ive reinstalled my notebook with pro 64bit and now keep thinking maybe I should have just installed as 32bit.
Additionally, I have office 2007 ultimate 32bit DVD, Would I be better off looking for the 64bit version?

64bit gives you the ability to use more RAM
For me I've got SQL Server 64 bit installed on the laptop. Since most server installations I work on now are 64bit it makes life easier when moving development work of my laptop onto the server.Coffee's for closersComment

Few things require 64-bit, but there seems to be no downside to installing the 64-bit version of Windows if you have both.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
