I just got a new computer and upgraded to Windows 7. I am running Inkscape, GIMP, and Scribus as well as a couple of other open source apps and they all seem to run fine. I only had one crash with Inkscape but nothing too serious that I was working on that caused great grief. I am running Scribus 1.3.6svn but haven't really done much with it yet as I have been working mostly with Inkscape. So far though I haven't encountered any problems with this version of Scribus. I like this new machine and am not letting any of my family get near it. So far after working about a week and a half with Window 7 I rather like it.
