it is great so far. no reason to wait really. no driver issues. no performance issues. no compatibility issues that i have run into. but i also don't play old shitty games from id, so your mileage may vary.

Windows 7 has some great enhancements on graphics and video playback. There is no reason to wait. I have installed x64 and x32 win 7 systems and i did not have to install one driver and never had a compatibility problem.

As for your video questions, this link tells you everything you need to know. Basically there are two layers of video now in win7

I have had no issues, but the laptop was very new, so no issues with drivers. If you are in doubt, as stated above, do a DB, and try it out.
