I was on Vista and 7 is a revelation of how great the OQO can be with a fast OS. I’ve also been running W7 since the later RCs.

I was so looking forward to getting the OQO 02+..bloody expensive but still the most satisfying umpc I've ever used. I dread the day when my OQO 02+ battery will cease to hold charge. Interesting to see on Ebay (Australia) that there are auctions goins for recharging OQO 02 batteries! There's still a strong support group in www.oqotalk.com so that's why I'll be going to to source battery and parts..

No way I'm going back onto WinXP now Win7 is in the house! :) Hi Ssagg..totally agree that Win7 rocks on the OQO..performance on par with XP..similarly I had to go into XP compat mode as well when installing OQO specific drivers and OQO manager.

I never ran vista except for a few weeks so everything is an improvement or me. Performance is, as Kenrick says, about the same as with XP and there are even some improvemnts (I don't know why but wifi signal is better). After a couple of weeks where my Oqo were totally unstable I disabled some services and installed some drivers in compatibility mode and now everything is working ok, including the Oqo manager and the wacom pen. The 02+ would have been a wonderfull device runing this OS I’ve also been running W7 on my Oqo for 2 or 3 monts now (first the RC and since last month the RTM and I couldn’t be happyer.

I'd say the performance is about the same as Windows XP, but with some of the improvements in Vista (like better handwriting recognition/correction).

That's what will inevitably kill off even the best of devices... With no more manufacturer support and no market for third party batteries, the day will come when it's time to try and find a new replacement, even if one doesn't exist. I'm fussing over my 901 Go with similar feelings; happily it still has a loyal following and 3rd party batteries and SSDs are aplenty. :) Typo in the first sentence: it should be the The Viliv boys or boys', not boy's.
