Microsoft just released the windows 7 and windows server 2008 rc2 hotfix for Bulldozer.. So how will this effect the performance is still to be seen though

An update to optimize the performance of AMD Bulldozer CPUs that are used by Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computers is available

This article introduces an update that optimizes the performance of AMD Bulldozer CPUs that are used by Windows 7-based or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computers. Currently, the performance of AMD Bulldozer CPUs is slower than expected. This behavior occurs because the threading logic in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is not optimized to use the Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) scheduling feature. This feature was introduced in the Bulldozer family of AMD CPUs.

some unofficial benchmarks in by users.. gaming gets a whooping 20-40 percent increase in BF3 and MW3.. nothing official though
 
I had already posted this in the PD thread, guess no one noticed it. However, even with these patches etc, I might not return back to AMD, except only for the Llano and brazos platforms.
