I just love my Voxengo Voxformer and PSP Vintage Warmer and can't use them :-(Hello slashvanyoung,
I will tell you from first hand experience, all of my systems have been converted to Windows 7. I am not just saying it to say because I am affiliated with Microsoft. I can truly stand behind this product and tell you straight away it works very reliably, fast and extremely stable. The 64bit version is a real powerhouse as well.
Anyways, what to say about Windows 7?
There are several new features that are available with Windows 7 that will assist you with deployment and management of a large number of workstations. Enterprise IT infrastructures are increasingly complex to manage. The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a dynamic desktop solution that is available as a subscription for Software Assurance customers. The solution suite enhances application deployment and compatibility, increases IT responsiveness and end user uptime, and helps reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of your desktop software and IT management. To learn more about this package, please go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/products/mdop/default.aspx
Also now available is MDT 2010 (Microsoft Deployment Tool) which will help you create images and automate the OS and application installations, data migration, and desktop configuration process. To learn more, please go here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744519(WS.10).aspx
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum specifically for IT Pros located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to also check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.
Also, if you would like to read what other users have said about their positive experience with Windows 7, you may want to check out the following sites: http://www.winsupersite.com/ and http://www.edbott.com/weblog/

Wierd. I had problems getting my Waveshells to work in W7, but my Voxengo plugins show up fine.
This is a long shot, but it did help me to get my old Waves plugins working....I found online that IE8 interferes in some way with Waves plugins, specifically older Waveshells. Disabling IE8 and using a different web browser solved my problem. I know it's different than yours, but worth a shot. If you find it doesn't help your situation, you can just go back and enable IE8.
EDIT
Also, Voxengo has this to say about it on their site:

Win7 x64 works perfectly for me so far. Running Reaperx64 with Superior 2 x64 & Trilian x64 and it works like a charm.
I'm gonna try it with Cubase 5 soon.

The only thing I'm missing with Win 7 x64 is the lack of PT compatibility (at least for 7.4). Every other 32-bit software basically runs hassle-free... what a surprise.
Originally I intended to keep a partition with XP solely for PT, but since I'm slowly migrating to Studio One, I'm - once again - moving away from PT for my home set-up.
Overall, it's probably the nicest OS I've ever used (across all platforms).
google windows 7 pro tools 7.4 registry fix. I did it and now I can run 7.4 no problem.

So I am reading the replies here mentioning that amp sims and other lower end 32 bit plugins are working. I have not gotten most amp sims working and some others like g-clip working. When I try to pull them up I get an error saying my plugins weren't installed correctly, when my DAW is perfectly recognizing that they are installed.
Also, ASIO4ALL is acting weird, It changes my inputs and outputs and I won't get any audio and all my inputs don't work, but everything works just fine in XP.
If it weren't for such stupid glitches W7 would be so much better, as well as having a 64-bit OS.

I#m yet not on W7, but collect infos...
I've read about the new Jbridge, it seems that the wrapper now can handle for example huge amounts of UAD plugs.
Maybe worth a try, also for ampsims and other stuff...

While I was initially very impressed with Windows 7, it's evident to me why I'm primarily a Mac guy - Windows is still up to the same old M$ dirty tricks. I've been getting a fair amount of the blue screen of death lately, actually, which they claimed to have eliminated. Mind you, the only apps I had open at the time were Winamp and Firefox, and the sites I was browsing were primarily text-based.

As I might have brought up before in this thread, I've also been hearing about stuff like this recently.
If nothing else, Windows is a terribly inconsistent product. Microsoft should try to actually make a product that works well for everyone. As you said, it doesn't seem to require more than a few simple programs for W7 to BSOD for some people.

On the whole, Windows 7 lacks consistency, and still feels like some weird descendant of Windows 3.1 and 95. The vestiges are there, lurking, and for no good reason. I really wanted to like this new Windows OS, but it's so clearly inferior to Mac OS X on so many levels - mostly because of Microsoft's lack of standards leadership/enforcement for third party developers. Apps can easily step on each others' toes in Windows, whereas in Mac OS X, apps speak to each other and interact together seamlessly. A key case in point is Mac OS X CoreAudio vs. Windows ASIO - it's amazing how much more stable, flexible, and bug-free CoreAudio is.
If Apple opened up OS X to third party hardware, they would crush Windows overnight.

If Apple did that, you'd have the same complaints abut Macs as you now have about PCs. Better to have options, no? But lets not turn this into the 98124758uerhtue45th debate on Mac vs PC.
Windows 7 is awesome in all aspects (had no BSOD's, nothing), apart from the fucking control panel. I've spent the last 10 minutes goin through the control panel, the control panel search, even Google trying to figure out how to edit the Aero options and I still can't. Goddamn.
As Morgan said, if Apple do that then you start to have the same problems you have on pc.
I simply don't understand why 7 should "feel" like a 3.1 grandson, it really do the job and it's light and stable (we cannot say that of Vista for sure).
The fact that pc is a "open" platform should not get the people to think that things go wrong all by microsoft faults. If, like you say, developers on windows can step on each other toes, than probably they should get more decent programmers, and not to blame Windows.
It's like saying that Seven is shit because I got terrible problems with Line6 Toneport and Reaper. The FACT IS that at Line6 there are idiots that after ONE year that Seven is available to public, still release faulty drivers.
Energizer (like other famous corporations) release OFFICIAL APPZ with virures inside.
To me, Microsoft is to blame for certain things, for all other things people should admit that most "professionals" doesn't know how to do their work properly.
From my side, if I got 50 euros surplus so I can spend them without problems, I want to be ABLE to buy additional 2 gigs of ram and upgrade my system without having to buy A WHOLE NEW MACHINE...
