Microsoft has announced that it will be releasing Windows version 7 to the public today.

Do any of you plan to install this? And if so...what process are you going to use?

Dual Boot would be the expected way of course, but would you install to a new partition?
A new Hard disk?

Please remember the usual caveats apply to Beta software - if it screws your system up you get no support from Microsoft.

That being said, a separate drive (with the previous one disconnected) is probably safer as it can't screw up something that isn't connected. I really wouldn't do a dual boot with a Beta operating system.

I personallt dont like Beta. I did it on my HP desktop and it started acting up a week later and i got error messeges every page i went to and then it wouldnt even move. Now its in the shop from doing a complete recovery and it screwed up even more from other issues. Why cant we be happy with just what we have when it works. What i always sayis..."if it iant broke done fix it". So no Betas for me anymore. I think we are guinia pigs for Beta anyway.
