Downloading it right now, what should I expect?
Using Windows XP Home ATM.
For driver versions, should I just download Vista ones? |

I tried Windows 7 on my secondary (much slower HDD) and it feels really smooth and everything works fine.
Eagerly waiting for the release. |

Every fresh OS installation usually is like this. But my Win7 Beta is still smooth after four months of use  |

| For the next best thing to fresh install is to uninstall all programs, do a complete registry clean-up (CCleaner, Glary's Utilities, etc.), virus and malware scan and reinstall all updated programs)... |
