if you have vista and 2 partitions on your harddisc are the install/reinstall windows 7 np, its nice
install windows 7 on the 2rd partition and you have an dualboot system (you can switch by restart comp)

but with xp gives 2 props (same like XP/vista dualboot system)

windows 7 (and vista) install an dualboot manager on xp
you cant delete this without tool
windows 7 (and vista) delete the last XP autorecovery point by every reboot
thats np if dont need the point hehe

you can install windows 7 alone but better you look first the compatible with your comp

install Sun xVM Virtual Box on your XP
then install windows 7 on the box

if all interoperable you can install windows 7 without props
(dual or alone, no risk no fun )

good luck and have fun

ive win 7 running
the visual effects are not as annoying as on vista, the performance is much better than on vista, there are some cool new features and improvements

pro: it is directx10 compatible but without wasting the resources like vista
the design is looking pretty cool and has less limitations like on vista

cons: there are some issues with older software (crysis has sound probs when you have a onboard sound card, Fraps does not work like it should, I dont see the FL intro movie -> black screen with sound only)
the design bother a bit if you use your system as working platform due to all the animations (but you still could turn them off)

Win7 is a positive surprise but its not perfect

No way ME was way worse than 2k

confirmed

Windows vista is extrememly lite on resources if you know what you are doing and know how to use it ... my exp with Win 7 hasn't been good... many series of crashes during game play especially whan playing games like Arma and Arma 2 which is to be expected i suppose for a RC release ... Win 7 is exactly like Vista with very little visual differences with a few added functions and to be totally honest i see very little difference in the resources used between Win 7 and Vista SP2 when its set up correctly.

I have no doubt that Win 7 will be the better of the 2 OS once SP1 or 2 is released but then what OS ever came out that was perfect on first release.

my first windows 7 install was bad too
the devicemanager was yellow in fews,
but i found drivers to repair that
the biggest prop was, 7 dont found my grafik and no chance to fix that with drivers

little tricky, i have install vista on partition D: first
then upgrade to 7
now all well

tribootsys now. vista, windows 7 and linux ubuntu hihi
