The Camera, Driver Station, PSOC programmer, all ran without issues.

We did experience some minor inconveniences when moving the Labview Project to a 32 Bit system as some of the paths changed as well as needing to run Labview as an Admin in 32 bit VISTA to access these files. Stick to either a 32 bit or a 64 bit system and you won't have this issue.

My laptop has 4 GB of ram, and I didn't notice any significant performance improvements. 32 Bit apps on a 64bit system, can still only use 3GB.
hmm...

my team's head programmer got a new laptop during build season... it worked until he tried to connect to the robot (nobody knows why it failed, may not have been win 7's fault)

I have a new (to me) laptop myself and am considering upgrading from xp 32bit to 7 64 bit (yay $30 upgrades for college students). I'd like to have labview since i will be a part time programming mentor next year. sounds like it will work?
