Using it already myself, so far so good. Unlike the other beta I could actually manage a dual-boot with this one without it just destroying my XP partions. Installed in about 15ish minutes for me I believe, I didn't time it that's just what it felt like. Basically like everyones been saying it's just what Vista should of been at its release but I'm happy with it and I'll prolly finally make the jump from XP with it.

Looks like I made the right decision, keeping XP through Vista.

I extensively reviewed the Beta of Windows 7 for CPU Magazine.

Here's my executive summary:

I quad-boot my desktop computer. One of the OSes is a very clean installation of XP that I use solely for gaming. One of the others is XP with all the various bells and whistles needed for my hardware, my network, my work, and so forth. One of the others is Vista, which I mostly use for testing and troubleshooting. I would certainly reformat the Vista partition and put W7 on it. I would never touch the XPGaming partition and put W7 on it. If there was some program I needed to do my job that only came on W7, I would consider replacing my "work XP" install with it.

My main notebook came with Vista, which I promptly erased and replaced with XP. If my next notebook came with W7 pre-installed, I'm not sure I would bother replacing it with XP.

In general, I really couldn't find any advantage to using Vista over XP for most users. With W7 there are some tangible benefits over XP (and certainly Vista) that make it more equal.

Just downloaded it to an older box I was going to put linux mint on....very little exposure but so far I'm impressed with what I see. Going to add it to my gaming rig as a 4th OS and see what its like...

well, Windows 7 RC is now available to the public for beta testing if anyone cares........

go here to register or login  and download: ( both 32 bit & 64 bit is available )

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx?ITPID=mscomsc

I am setting mine up on a seperate HD and using the 64 bit version..........( thought about partitioning, then decided to go stand alone just incase something goes a foul )

I am interested in checking out the using WinXP Virtual PC gadget thingy.......

Llama's post is what intrigued me.........

Just upgrading my kids W7 beta to W7 RC. The beta worked fine on some applications and totally failed on some. I'm anxious to see if the RC will be more compatible.

RC
I loaded it on my office box today....
Much faster load time and hardware compatibility...  It's an old nforce 2 Asus MB...
So far much better IMHO...
