Stable Windows 7? Not my experience!
Too many programs still crash, printer connections and other devices disappear, networking different Windows versions is haphazard, libraries obfuscate and complicate access to data, desktop icons lose their graphic... Having data buried deep inside the "System Folders" renders them inaccessible when Windows fail to start for any reason. The amount of the initial set up gymnastics to separate data and programs on their own logical disks grows with each new Windows "version". Windows 7: My Windows LAST.
