I came upon this thread a few days ago. Let the old man (72 and still counting) tell you what he has done. I replaced the 64 bit 7057 with 7000 Home premium on my Lenovo Y410 laptop. works like a champ. On my Dell Inspiron 2200 Laptop (dual boot XP pro and Win 7 7048) I replaced the Win 7 partition with 7000 Basic. Runs ok but seems a lot slower. So far, still ok for what I do.
I also have an Acer One Netbook running dual boot XP Home and Win 7 7000 With no problems so far. My Dell XPS 410 has Dual boot XP Pro 32 Bit and Win 7 64 bit 7000.
After my experience with 1 Beta and 2 RCs and 2 machines bought with Vista Home Prem This is a dream come true. I also have a machine running Windows Home Server.
Both the x32 and x64 versions of Win 7 have not caused any problems with WHS.
All in all, I think MS has a WINNER with Win 7.
I don't try to push an OS to its limits.
Forgot to say at the beginning that I am a retired IBM Senior System Engineer who started out with DOS 1.0 on an IBM 64k pc1 in 1981.
