I think its too early to have an overall opinion about Windows 7. Once it comes out of the Microsoft Labs as a stable release, may be then we can know if it can truly keep up the expectations. About playing games, I had a big time making games run on vista on my friends computer. I hope its not the same with Windows 7. User access control made vista a sort of black box. Every little changes need the admin authentication. Although it can be disabled, but theres still so much of security traps everywhere.
On the hardware front, Vista already made enough hype about the high end hardware requirements. Windows 7 has pretty much the same requirements, which would help in easy transition. I have heard that Windows 8 would be a complete recoding of Windows 7 from scrap. But it would take long time to come out and till then Windows 7 would have had its happy stay in the market as an OS.
