I made the move to Windows 7 back in August when they released their RC (release candidate) for free. I had just built a new computer and needed something for a few months, so the timing was perfect. Over time, I installed the applications I normally use to see how they'd work with 7. I found no real problems.
Around that same time, Microsoft offered an upgrade for $50 as a pre-order. It's a testimony to my laziness that I only used that upgrade this past weekend. (The RC was good until March, then they'd have forced my hand.) The worst part about doing a complete Windows upgrade or buying a new PC is setting it up the way you like it. To that end, I was very excited to find Ninite.
Click that link and you'll arrive at the main page, which lists a ton of common, free applications. Most of the stuff I use is on there. What's the big deal? You just check off the ones you want, then they create one file that installs all of those packages. Bloody brilliant. Here's mine, if you're interested.
