For me, it's a blessing in disguise. I have had very poor luck with Windows upgrades on any kind. The only thing that does work are so-called Service Packs. I've never had one fail. However, my luck with the various builds of Windows 7 beta is that a fresh install is clean and stable, while my few attempts at upgrades end up as failures. I also have had poor luck with data transfer utilities. They never do what I want. What works for me is to use a portable USB or Firewire drive to backup all the data I think I need and go from there.
Bye.
