Moved to Win 7 64 Bit from XP Pro 32 and haven't really looked back. You will really need to have about 4 gigs of ram though to let it breath a bit. It has higher overhead but when you launch a game it does a great job of giving you all the resources.
I did a side by side comparison because I have another drive with Win 32 just using IL2. I get smoother game play with Win 7 than with XP. Also with 8 gigs of ram I have yet to have a game give me any studders or slowdowns except for the normal stuff.
Win 7 was ready for prime time from the start.
The only game that will give you headaches with this move is Falcon 4 both FreeFalcon and AF if and only if you use an Nvidia Card. ATI doesn't have any problems.
