x64 Pro is significantly different than either 32/64 versions of Home Premium. If nothing else, Pro offers XP compatibility mode (assuming your CPU supports it).

I have limited experience with Win7, but so far I like it. I too understand the DRM complaints, but what other options do you have? Apple embraces DRM too. So what are you going to use for your primary OS, Linux? I understand Linux has its place in the server world or for geeks with desktops, but I don't think it has much value on a laptop. Friggen GUIs are just too clunky. Not to mention the average user can't spell Linux let alone operate it.
