After 2 years of Vista, I've taken the plunge and upgraded my trusty Lenovo X61s to Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and I'm pleasantly surprised ! Out of the box, the majority of drivers are supported and so far, all I've installed is the ThinkVantage Power Manager and the Fingerprint Reader drivers.

All of my day-to-day software like office, firefox, google chrome all work without any issue and, its a lot quicker that Vista.

So, it starts up quickly, auto-resumes like my Mac, automatically connects with my AD credentials to our internal Trapeze wireless networks , has fingerprint recognition protection on the laptop on startup and for authenticating to our Active Directory Domain and runs Lotus Notes 8.5.1 without any issue!!

Standard Techie Disclaimer: Lotus Notes 8.5.1 is not officially supported on Windows 7  . Try it at your own peril .. :-)
