First impression of Win 7 is Woot!
I picked up the oem 7 pro version so that I could get the xp mode and the ultimate version only offered bit locker and language support for 35 other languages.
Installation on to the 6831 Fx laptop was very quick, no problems so far except toasting the vista install when I created a 100 gig partition for win 7. [I'll reinstall/fix the vista partition later.... or maybe not ; ) ]
-next up GW install
*Update* -GW works \o/
looks like most vista 64 drivers will work as win 7-64 drivers until they get updated by what ever company made them.
Only other problem that I have run in to is the 22" monitor I was using does not want to go in to full HD resolution. so right now the laptop is in laptop mode and not desktop replacement mode.
A note on upgrading: you can only upgrade from a like copy of vista 32->32 or 64->64 or home to home ultimate to ultimate.... so vista home 32 to vista home 64 requires a fresh install of win 7
