Hi, how many of you have finally done it?

Hi saverio and welcome to the Forums,

I am dual booting with Vista ussing seperate HDD's and using Windows 7 as my main operating system and to tell you the truth, the more you use Windows 7 the less you will whant to use Vista and the older it feels and if you are coming from XP I think you would just be amazed at all the great features and inovations, just make sure you have all your updated drivers ready and you should be good to go.

If you do run into any problems you know where to go, good luck

I agree with Mr. Grim on this one. Vista is looking old now compared to Windows 7.

I also first went the dual-boot route, just to check it out. I was so amazed with the changes (for the better) and the stability of a BETA, that a few days later I decided to wipe my entire system, and now I'm running only on Windows 7.

And the one conslusion I can draw is this: If this is the kind of stability Microsoft can offer us with a BETA product, then I think the final release is going to be something spectacular!

Hi!

After an initial test-installation for a few days (having my primary Vista-Installation still on an other HDD), I've dumped that one and am using Seven as my primary (and only) installation.

I love the new features and won't wait for the final to use them

EDIT: When creating the second (now used) installation I used the opportunity to activate Bitlocker for my bootdrive. Works great as well.

I still have Vista and Opensuse installed, but I've been using 7 as my main OS since installation.

And yes, Vista is already starting to feel decidely old hat XP feels archaic

I quad boot and XP now feels totally prehistoric, Vista a little less so.

I went with an upgrade from Vista 64 to Win7 64...so it's my only OS on my main PC...
So far it's working fine with all my video editing software.

It was a new build though, so I wasn't risking much. I still have my old machine with XP and my wife's Vista laptop for backup.

And I agree...I don't want to go back to XP or Vista...

Hi saverio and welcom to Se7en Forums

I am currently running a triple boot system, and am booting into Windows 7 by default. All 3 OSes exist on the same array, but in different partitions. True, W7 has some bugs left in the code, but on the whole it is very stable (given that it is still in Beta), and I have had no major problems with it. I have had no problems driver-wise either, and have found that, in most cases, Vista drivers work satisfactorily on my system.
