Windows Vista Home Premium x64 > Windows 7 Home Premium x64
I wish MS made Windows 7 a lot eaiser to do a clean install from the upgrade dvd.
Not a chance in hell am i getting 7. Vista is bad enough.
MS confirmed awhile back you need to have XP, Vista, or 7 RC1 to upgrade.I was able to put Full Win7 Ultimate DVD onto a machine with Win7 RC. (Ultimate) and chose the upgrade option--it 'upgraded' and kept everything.
I had been under the impression this was not doable--yet it worked!!
So I was excited!,,maybe I was wrong and this is just normal..either way that kicked ass!
For shits and giggles I tried to do 'upgrade' option with Pro version DVD and it required full reformat!!. (told me I couldn't upgrade Ultimate (RC) to Full dvd (Professional)..all copies were/are 64-bit)

7 RC1
Your not going to get it? It's actually pretty good. It's on the same level if not better than Windows XP. Microsoft said that they are trying to get everyone to change to Windows 7 and their gonna try and wipe vista off.
Windows 7 is DX11 already...... and actually afaik windows vista will be getting DX11. Second, the beta was crap at best, the RC was far better and RTM/Retail is amazing.Nope. tryed the beta and hated it. i only got vista for DX10 and since DX11 wont be out untill windows 8 then i see no point in getting 7. i just dont wanna spend like £160 on a DVD that is worse and with less programs on then vista.
And sorry id have to disagree with your point of 7 being on the same level as XP. XP was the best OS that M$ has ever done. its the fastest, uses little resources (compared to vista/7) doesn't ask you "are you sure" all the f****** time and the list goes on.
Bottom line is that i wont be getting win7 or win8 unless M$ think about what they are doing and change the give users more choice and allow users to do what ever they want instead of ordering people about.

That's how I plan to upgrade, inside my RC1 install. Then I'll finally delete my Vista partition and extend the space to 7. That will be nice.
Got enough copys?
At that point it would have been easier to do like i did and get technet
