According to it's seller it could be the best OS ever made but I think that if someone wants to play games without problems he should wait sometime after the release of a new OS.

Well IBM is one of the biggest enemy's of MS so if they say it is a good OS i would take it without hesitation.

No need really, its a very solid os. It may have a few bugs, but every OS has bugs, even XP still has bugs.

I think it is a very solid os. I have had it on my brand new laptop for about two months. You are completely right, XP still has a huge amount of bugs in it. But then Vista was a better version of XP, and then 7 is an upgraded version of Vista. When i heard 7 was coming out and that it was a better version of Vista, i ran out to get it because I LOVE Vista.

P.S. EM4 La Mod worked fine for me first try.

This game works fine within windows 7 and Vista, however for those of you who have klite codec pack installed, you´ll have to uninstall it to play this is the reason for the black screen crash. aahope this helps.
