My office switched to 7 recently, from XP. This included a change to the Office Suite. It is hilarious how many times I find myself staring at the screen looking for a function because they have removed the old drop down choices.

The one thing I like about 7 is the ability to "snap" windows to fit. Of course the program I need that for the most isn't 7 compatible and I am stuck running it in a virtual XP environment.

I have the Home Premium Win 7 on both my laptop and desktop. When I first started going from XP to Win7, I had several 'must have for me' programs that wouldn't work on Win7. I managed to tweak some of them and got them to work. A few others, however, wouldn't. Some of my 'must have for me' programs are no longer supported and I cannot find comparable replacements.

I hate upgrades, updates, NEW versions! They tend to break more things than they fix.
