I've now installed 7.3 on a few machines and I think it's really very slick.

Key improvements (that have impacted on me) over 7.2 include:
KDE 2.2 is great, especially for users who you are trying to wean off of 
Windows. (I had installed this on SuSE 7.2 via some downloaded rpms, but it 
was a pain to get going.)
Yast2 - The ability to install with journalling file systems and LVM greatly 
eased the pain of setting up a couple of servers.
Graphics - ok they are only pretty pictures, but boot up, shutdown etc really 
do look 'the business' when you are trying to convince someone that this is a 
slick modern OS.

Cheers
