Windows 7 CD arrived! Upgrade or reinstall?
Hmm. . .
My Windows 7 DVD has arrived & I'm contemplating doing an in-place upgrade to my existing Vista 64 install.
Anyone done this?

Likewise. I did clean Win7 install last night.
Edit: I took an image using VMware vCenter Converter first though

I read an article on BBC news today about an upgrade, and it was horrendous!
I can see a lot of casual users going the 'easy' upgrade path having a really bad time.

That was easy.
Ran the Upgrade Advisor Tool - just to make sure my RAID card would be happy.
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
And it was.
Backup, format & reinstall - in about 25 minutes.
For a NEW OS, there was already 150meg's worth of patches!

If you can do a fresh install its always best, been running windows 7 since it was beta in march and rebuilt with each new disc i got to keep things clean and now running 7 Enterprise. 150Mb of patches ? was that mainly drivers because a fresh install on my laptop only had about 20Mb to do and they were mainly drivers
