Unfortunately 7 is eye candy also...transitions are actually clean and not awkward.
The 7 gui is very frankensteined and not original. Applets from Vista stolen from unix desktop/Mac OS X. The Taskbar/Quick Launch is now combined to add a bit more than the Taskbar OSX had provided.
The Alt-Tab feel/functionality is almost a duplicate of the OS X multi-app selector.
Boot-up is quick, task switching is quick, transitions are more refined/cleaner.
I only use Windows because I have to. Ask any IT department trying to run a business with all their mainstream business apps, no IT department will spend the extra $$ and hours and man power to support non-Windows in the desktop/laptop arena.
Hey..most of the time, I'm ssh'd or VNC'd into a unix box doing most of my work. Not being able to get support for a virtual unix instance on my desktop sucks, so I do what I can to not rock the boat in the IT world.
