Some people also have a habit of waiting for SP2 of an MS OS. Historically, that's been the magic point (other than NT (SP4) but that was only their second time trying an operating system that wasn't a toy).

My OS/2 Warp package sits on my museum shelf because it was abandoned early (and sadly) as MS rushed to NT.
Of course, there's talk online that Microsoft cancelled SP2 for 7 and is going to drop the whole SP business, but I suppose that remains to be seen.
