Dunno if you are hitting the sarcastic button or not, but its true.
Nope, no sarcasm. Also, after using Win7 for a while, I went back to Vista (got a deal I couldn't pass up on a used laptop with it preinstalled) and all service-packed up, it also works pretty well. All of my laptops also have Ubuntu on them as well, I go back and forth for whatever reason and as I'm using the computer I often forget what OS I'm booted into since everything just works.
I was a big XP fan (and still use it at the office,) but it's starting to show its age so I don't do new installs of it at home much anymore.
