I've recently made the switch to the Windows SDK on Windows 7. I've changed all D3DX code to use D3DCompiler and DirectXMath. I'm also using the texture loader from directxtex (http://directxtex.codeplex.com/). I find the new libraries much more lightweight.

You can find most of the info on the right-hand side of the main page of gamedev.net.

Moving from D3DXMath to DirectXMath might take a bit of time, since DirectXMath uses SIMD and needs to be handled in a certain way. There should be some threads on this somewhere on the forums though, and there are docs available explaining how to do the conversion.
