Warning for Windows 7 beta users

[ckole]

I installed the beta on my machine and it ran great. I now have the real Windows 7 courtesy of my Microsoft Tech subscription and I am installing it on my machine.

The warning is that you can't do an upgrade. You have to new a new install and re-install all of your apps. There is something called Easy Transfer Wizard that will save your data (Have to use an external drive, dvd, or something other than the hard drive you are installing on) It is a bit slow but works pretty well.

So all I am saying is if you are dying to try Windows 7 you might save yourself a bit of a headache and just get it when the production version comes out to the masses.

Love the mini 5101 I plan on upgrading my ram tomorrow.

The production version as opposed to the "upgrade"? But "upgrades" are cheaper.
