If Vista is working for you, why bother?

BSOD with my printer is really my only serious problem with it.

List the top ten features of Win 7 you'd like to use or need to use

If you don't know enough about Win 7 to have a top ten list - then save your money till you do.

Win7 has MUCH better driver support it seems than Vista did or does...just from personal experience anyway.

There are lots of free upgrade paths from vista to 7. Do you qualify for 1 of them? If so, I would say yes. When the newer os ( Windows 8 ) comes out, they may only offer an upgrade from 7. If no and you are happy with vista, except for the driver issue, then why upgrade? There may be drivers out there for you printer on vista. What makes you think there are drivers on 7 for it?
My personal choice is Win 7. I am using the RC and have the retail, just no time to put it in yet.
