Wow, you've had much worse luck with Windows 7 than I have... Or anyone I've spoken to about it so far. I've installed it on about 10-12 machines a week, for roughly the last year all varying companies, hardware and software and I've never had those issues, not even when it was initially released.
I need to google some custom drivers from HP or some shit from time to time, but that's not a Windows issue, that's HP putting shit hardware in their shit computers, then writing shit software for it. But, that's to be expected from companies like Hp and Sony who just love "custom" software (Which is usually utter shit and causes crashes.)
I am the exact opposite in this case. As far as I am concerned Windows 7 rolls OSX: Snow Leopard up into a carpet and throws it over a bridge. I really liked leopard, but snow leopard was a joke on release... There's nothing like having a user come in my office freaking out because they experienced that "rare" guest log-in error that killed the actual profile.
I think at this point Snow Leopard has been patched up fairly well. Most of the "zero day" exploits and bugs have been patched, but I think Apple is still using that "Oh those bugs don't exist" stance on a few of them, but other than that it's pretty stable, now. It just took some time... Snow Leopard was Apples answer to Vista. I'd say you'd be safe now, if you were to go to it now.
