Yeah I've been running this for nearly 2 weeks now, and it's pretty awesome. It of course has lots of minor issues and such, but it blows the shit out of Vista, and it's worth it for all the little options/features/sexiness it has. =)

After a bunch of patches I'm sure it's going to be the new standard, it seems pretty solid.

Thanks, I was aware of MSDNAA already and have just been waiting for Win7 to be released. I've been running the Release Candidate for a couple of weeks now and it hasn't crashed a single time. Lots of cute little features too. Seems like I successfully dodged Vista after all

Have anybody tried registering themselves in the IEEE, and gotten a free Win7 key successfully? And were your school registered in the MSDNAA program?

I'm not sure wether or not to register, as my school is not in the official program.

I currently have 32-bit Vista Home Pro running on my laptop with 4gb of RAM.

My question is: Is it worth it to do a fresh install of Windows Vista 64-bit AND THEN upgrade to Windows 7 x64? It would require me to update bios, drivers, norton 360, backup files, etc etc.

OR should I save my time and just upgrade to the Windows 7 x86 (32-bit)? Will I even be able to notice a difference in performance when upgrading to 7 x86?

why would you fresh install vista 64 bit then install windows 7 over it instead of just fresh installing win 7 64 bit..?

I was under the impression that that was the route I had to take. I assumed it had something to do with Vista 64 pre-configuring all the bios, drivers, when upgrading to Windows 7. I'm guessing that's not necessary? I've never had to upgrade my OS, so I'm completely new to this. Any help would be wonderful!

I need to figure out if I want to run Win7 Pro on my netbook with 1GB of RAM, or if I should get it to 2 GB first...

Win 7 is actually a million times better at supporting hardware after install than Vista. It'll probably install drivers for nearly everything automatically.
