You can customize XP to look like Vista, and then you get cool looks and speed. Sorry to break it to you, old chap, but Windows 7 more than likely sucks real bad, Ubuntu is cool, though. As someone currently using 7, and a beta-tester of 7, it doesn't suck. Very smooth, powerful, and doesn't eat resources like a child munching candy.
That said, I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. For fun. Yeah, a friend recently got a Windows 7 computer. It is pretty sweet, sorta like Vista on roids. I was making my comment by experience with Vista. Vista is really only good for graphics, sometimes. Vista sucks, but 7 takes XP's stability and raw power and combines it with the classy look of Vista, then tosses in a few goodies as well.

About the only thing I miss from XP is the bloody space cadet pinball.
Haven't gotten around to ripping it over. Also, it might be dependant on which version of 7 you're working with. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium bit and don't worry, not one compatibility issue between x86 and x64!
Not like Windows XP bit I don't really have that much of an opinion on operating systems. They are all good, just in different ways.
