Windows 7 is a damn fine OS. I was involved in the official Microsoft Beta Program (not the public release) so I've seen the OS from early development up, and even those early builds ran much better then Vista. That was VERY impressive considering early builds usually don't have much in the way of optimisations in the code.
I've been running the final RTM build for about a month now on all my PC's and it's a great OS to use which runs on a lot less resources then Vista. Even my ASUS Netbook with 2GB of RAM, 1.60GHz Atom Processor and a tiny 8GB SSD* drive runs Windows 7 Starter Edition (the edition designed for Netbooks) perfecty.
* In case your wondering, after install on my 8GB SSD drive I had about 1.5GB free. This is fine for me as I only use my Netbook for Stellarium and basic web browsing/email etc. Windows 7 has a much smaller install size compared to Vista.

Sounds like it could be a driver issue more than anything. I've been running Stellarium (which also uses OpenGL) on my Netbook and PC without any issues with Windows 7.
