This is very good to know.

Q: If I install Win7 over Vista, is there anything I need to look out for? Will this be an easy install of Win7 replacement of Vista. Has anyone here been through this?

I am not good at computer stuff so any heads-up will be great.

I do not prefer running two OS's.

womenfly2,
i installed Win7 64 over my Vista 64 this weekend. Win7 runs a compatability check before it installs & gives you a list of potential problems with your hardware/software. the only problems i have had so far are the ones it listed. i had to update TrendMicro, OpticFilm 7200i film scanner, re-install Studio 12. it said iTunes would need to be re-installed but it seems to work without it so far.
my TrackIR, Saitek x52 stick & pedals, X-Fi gamer sound card & RoF all worked fine.

Thanks DEW, sounds like good news. I will be doing the same in about a week.

Cheers.
