It's a step release, which Microsoft typically has more success with in terms of getting it right.

XP (v5.1) was a step release from Windows 2000 (v5.0), they added features without breaking too much.

Win7 (v6.1) is a step release from Vista (v6.0), again they have added features without breaking too much.

Although if they released it as version 6.1 it probably wouldn't sell as well, LOL.

I've been using the official release on my work machine and my home laptop for the last 45 days and overall I'm pretty happy. Both are running 64-bit versions. Work desktop is a dual quad-core with 10GB of RAM and page file disabled. Laptop is a core 2 duo with 3GB. Only complaint is that sometimes the laptop wont wake out of sleep mode, and hibernate takes forever compared to Vista. Both were clean installs, Business and Ultimate. Upgrade "works" but it brings along all the baggage, best to make a clean start if you can.
