Windows 7 Should I upgrade my Vista installation now or not?

[sevensteps]

Has anybody already upgraded their installation? I've got a PDC copy of Win7 and bought myself a new HP Touchsmart as my main machine. I've got it all up and running on Vista and am contemplating installing Win7 as my operating system. I want to start developing for win7 using visual studio 2008 now and that would be so easier if win7 is the main OS (i've got it in a virtualbox already, but that doesn't seem to support multi touch).

Any answer would be very welcome.

Ps: I use MS software only. And if Outlook, Word and VS runs fine, I'm happy.

Bye,
Bart

I would NOT install it as your main OS, especially since there's no way to get around the 30-Day Trial period at this point.

Thanks a bunch man, worked perfect.
So yeah, if you have a vista beta key, you can register your copy.

I had a vista beta key, but seems like I lost the email. Oh well, I guess I'll have to see if I have it somewhere.

I agree insofar as installing it as your main OS. However, there are ways to get around the 30 day trial period.

 

[Kyle]

I'm actually using it as my main on my laptop, and yes, mine's good til August 1st 2009. So there are ways to circumvent the 30 day period now.

Woo! thanks a lot. I guess I should have paid more attention to Microsoft telling me to keep the Vista beta keys.
