I upgraded my HTPC from Vista Ultimate 32 to Win 7 Ultimate 64 recently. I have not seen any compelling reason in windows itself to upgrade, except for Windows Media Center. The version that comes with Win 7 is much improved if you use it to watch/record HDTV.

I don't have cable or any dish services, but I get excellent HDTV with a HDHomerun network tuner. The guide now works properly and displays all program information correctly for my 17 over the air channels. In my opinion Microsoft fixed what should have worked properly in Vista.

It is just like Microsoft to charge me for another operating system to fix what should have worked anyway. It is just like me to fall for this!
