Photoshop starts up at like 60% quicker than in vista...boot up/down times are like 60-80% faster as well, at least for me.

I (and I imagine most webmasters) run a lot of programs simultaneously...and vista didn't seem to handle that so great, even with a pile of ram, however 7 seems to tackle this problem much much much better. LOVE the new taskbar too, took about 3 minutes to get used to it, and could not go back lol.

Windows 7 is totally what vista SHOULDA been...hopefully it stays this good right through release
