Just completed my fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and one thing that has impressed me right away is that my media card reader now works! Since I moved from Vista 32-bit to Vista Ultimate 64-bit I was unable to get a working driver and had give up any hope of being able to use the card reader. It hadn't worked with the Beta copy of Windows 7 so I was really surprised when I got a message in the task bar telling me to fix an error with one of my drivers.  I'd searched the Internet high and low looking for a 64-bit driver and now all of a sudden Windows 7 had found one, so after a quick download and install I was able to take the SD card from my Canon and put it into the card reader and it works!!

You can see that I now can access the card just like any other drive in windows explorer.  It's a small thing but it now means I don't have to connect my Camera to a USB port in order to download my pictures. So far for me Windows is doing what it says in the adverts, "Your PC simplified". I've worked with Linux, OS X and all previous versions of Windows and this is the first time I've been this happy with a new operating system, here's hoping the honeymoon period keeps going.
