The USB stack was completely rewritten after Vista...it was broken badly in XP and Vista (though most folks won't realize it as they don't do the advanced power management or rapid insert/remove stuff that breaks it). Lots of other medium to minor subsystems were either drastically refactored or totally scrapped and done from scratch in addition to USB in Win7. I can't remember it all but I'm sure google can remember it for me.
Basically, Win7 is teh bomb. Go getz it nao.
