Funny this is, where I work we are actively fielding Vista, as per U.S. Air Force directives. The rumor on the street, however, is the DOD is close to releasing Windows 7 for use. This would be a sweet change from the many operating system transitions in recent history that have taken 2+ years, after public release, to approve for DOD use.
I bought a Dell touch screen computer that came with Windows Vista home 64 bit, and Dell sent me a free Windows 7 upgrade. I waited to setup the machine will I had the upgrade, so I basically has a fresh Windows 7 installation on a new PC. It's much cleaner and lighter than Vista, and it's Microsoft support hasn't expired.
