In case you haven't seen the most recent tests, Windows 7 beats XP in everything but DVD burning.

Runs quite nicely but has an annoying habit on start-up of blanking out the screen. Can only be woken up by pressing the power button a couple of times. It complains about missing graphics and audio drivers but the ones installed by default actually work well. I'll be leaving Win7 on this eee for a while to see how it develops.
