Again, I want to echo Martin.  Things have improved a lot, and I actually
*enjoy* working with my Windows 7 desktop at work.  Everything pretty much
just *works*, and I dont find myself chasing down weird behaviors near as
much as I used to.

I want to get windows 7 at home, but I dont want to disrupt my primary music
machine in the middle of recording two projects for release.
