Do you run Windows XP still? Should you wait for Windows 7, convert to Vista now or just continue with old faithful?

It only feels like yesterday that Vista was released and it’s had its fair share of problems. Jason Frye takes Windows 7 for a test drive to see how it compares with Vista – are all those pesky problems fixed now and could it end up being adopted en masse to be as popular as XP once was?
