I have used Windows 7 (64 & 32bit) since beta in January. I have not had any problems with Steam. I buy every game I can on Steam.

The only real issue I had was back in beta and it was not Steam related. Punkbuster in COD: 4 didn't like something that Windows 7 was doing and would kick me out of every online game within a couple minutes. That issue was resolved before RC even came out.

The last two Nvidia driver releases have been problematic, though it appears that this is not related to Windows 7 specifically. I updated after each release and rolled back to 181.72 which is what Windows seems to think is best as it is installed automatically and haven't had any problems with that version.
