I've been using Windows Vista since shortly after it released. I had been happy with Windows XP, but some hardware issues lined up with the Vista update so I switched to make sure our software worked on "the latest and greatest from Microsoft." I enjoyed most aspects of Vista over XP and didn't see 7 as a big difference. The only hitch was when Windows Error Reporting's application mapping tool was updated to require Windows 7.
The real motivation to switch though was a perspective customer asking if our software supported Windows 8. I had run the preview release under Virtual PC a few months earlier and found that everything worked fine, but it was only a brief test and our technical support department didn't have any experience with the new operating system, so the boss suggested we get a system setup for them to have access to for familiarization and tech support and that we have a development system to make sure we're really ready for Windows 8.
