Im using Windows 7 as my maino perating system as a beta. Runs perfectly fine. IE8 is better than 7 , much faster and has a compatibility mode to make websites run in the same way they would under IE7

I'm using it on one of my Vistas, and obviously my Windows 7 machine.

Probably wouldn't use on my main machine at the moment though.  Saying that, I'm typing this in IE8 (on Win7)!

Qwerty
The compatibility mode needs a lot more work!  On the upside, it does display OOF and Royal Mail sites OK-ish in compatibility mode (though not native).

Acrobat Reader does not appear to work in IE8 beta, which is a pain.
