    Agree with clean install mentality sure, but have to also say I did upgrade on 2 machines with each and every release/leak and have not had a single issue because of it. FWIW

    You did an upgrade. What the hell were you expecting? Upgrading is rarely ever a good idea.

    Real men always do a clean install.

    Clean install is a better idea , specially with a beta o/s.

    7 has had some nips and tucks in the right places - I'm sure it will run better on a lower spec machines.

    If you have an ok desktop - you probably won't notice any difference in performance - I don't.

    In fact, Vista boots up considerably faster than any of the 7 builds ever have on my machine.

    Don't listen to people telling you Vista is rubbish - it isn't.

    If it works for you - go for it.

    Give 7 a try and see which you prefer - maybe try dual booting to keep Vista running as it is.

    Clean install is the only way to go. I did that from 7000-7127.
    Even re-installed Vista for SP2 rtm.
    Vista is not rubbish either, SP2 rtm "almost" as snappy as Win7..:)

    Real men enjoy doing it over and over again.

    The main reason I went for an upgrade is that my whole family uses the laptop (as well as a couple of desktops), and I get serious grief if MSN, Facebook etc aren't working properly, so I hoped to make it as seamless as possible and faster into the bargain. Which I reckon is probably quite a typical scenario.

    Everyone was happy that it worked the same, but I immediately had complaints that it was taking longer to load; and just when I tweaked the power options to mostly Sleep rather than Hibernate, it went pear-shaped.
    I don't think it was a good idea to modify a Windows installation used by many people. That is the best scenario for the use of dual boot.
