So, I got my hands on a copy of Win 7 and decided, what the hell, and installed it on Marduk. (Being not an idiot, I kept the recovery partition as-is, so if something terrible happens, I can nuke it back to Vista Business)
It's...interesting. It really does feel like a combination of Vista and XP, taking the better parts of both. Currently, I'm installing some of the Lenovo drivers/utilities (like power management). This is harder than it sounds, since it took some digging but I eventually found the Win 7 Beta drivers. I figure in 2-3 months, I'll be able to just click a utility on the Lenovo website and it'll put everything I missed in automagically.
But I'm decently happy with Win 7. It's almost got the features Ubuntu has.

But Win 7! It's adorable because it's trying so hard.
