Guess that about says it all.

I can't think of any reason to off-hand. The usual reason people wait for the service pack is to avoid new-release bugs, but even the release candidate didn't have that many of them.

Not really necessary because all the show stopping bugs were squashed in Vista already and Windows 7 is based off Vista. You can't quite call it Vista service pack 3, but its still very close to that kind of analogy.

Um technically it was already released in a way but not really called a Service Pack, October 14th before 7 Hit the streets, Auto-update works 13 updates addressing 34 issues. I downloaded the pack

This is not Vista where even SP2 does not address the issues. Vista development ignored all the Lessons learned from the XP Experience

Windows 7 is Good to Go!!!

I recently built a computer with Vista Business and an upgrade coupon to Windows 7. However my Client's accounting program Simply Accounting Pro 2009 has glitches with Windows 7 and Vista, so I downgraded her to XP Pro for now. I really don't need the aggravation working out unknown bugs for no pay and would prefer to have a happy customer issue me a cheque after my work is complete. I'm waiting until all the main biz apps have their bugs worked out before installing Win 7 on any business machine.

2010 is supposed to address those issues

Absolutely not.... Vista is Windows ME with an NT Kernel covered with UAC brand Condom

If they have 7 Professional or up, and I'd assume they do since it's a business, just run it in XP Mode. It's a free copy of XP from Microsoft that runs inside 7 as a virtual machine. Problem solved!
