Do you see yourself migrating completely in the near future?”

Yes.
I am a pretty cautious citizen by nature, and I started using win 7 from when it was beta, before it even went to RC1. I just kept installing newer versions of Win 7 over the older versions, but I wasn’t quite ready then to trust all my apps and data to a beta operating system. But right now, I use Win 7 99% of the time, so I hardy ever use Vista.
The Vista takes up so litle space on my hard drive, that I might just leave it there and just stop using it. The boot.ini has Win 7 listed first anyway, so the only inconvenience is hitting “enter” to avoid a 25 second wait, while booting up.

Well, as long as the space stamp is minor, you should be good to go. For those with space issues, the upgrade will be important.

I’m not biting. I’m happy with XP (I still have Windows 2000 on an older Dell that originally came with Millenium). Heck, I still use Office 2000. But I have friends who have Vista and XP systems, and I’m looking at what their needs will likely be.

Running Win7 and Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro.

Luvin' both of 'em, but Win7 is a HUGE improvement over Vista. Much more so than Snow over Leopard.
