Pros
Smaller disk and memory footprint. Faster installation, startup,Office 2007 Standard, shutdown. Stable. Less intrusive. Taskbar icons more flexible. New home networking capabilities, including media streaming. Working with external hardware is easier. Multitouch support. Nice new eye candy.
Cons
Keeps the Registry and some other Windows baggage. Performance not a huge gain over Vista. A bit pricey for upgraders.

Bottom Line
Microsoft's new OS is a big improvement over Windows Vista, and because it's based on the same underlying kernel code there should be fewer compatibility headaches for those who make the switch. Add to that a retooled taskbar, simpler home networking,Office Professional 2007, faster start-up, and more, and Windows 7 may succeed where Vista failed.
