There are improvements in the wireless system and in locking.  One of
the most interesting is the possibility of using zfs and dtrace from
Solaris.  Many of these features have undiscovered bugs that you might
prefer not discovering on your own server.  For desktop and laptop use
I would certainly have no issues with using 7.0.
