their will be windows 7 compatibility for drivers and if i were you,I would install it in virtual pc.
or at least do full image back up of your current system.

@gannu,
I wont install it on my pc till it reaches RC stage.
I was running windows 7 beta copies in virtual pc and once windows 7 reached RC,i put it in my main Vaio and since then never went to vista hp ghost images.
When official windows 7 came out,i honestly went and bought windows 7 home upgrade pack,which gave me 3 licenses for upgrading to windows 7 home premium and i am happy to purchase it.
first time i felt windows 7 is worth paying for.:eek:hyeah:

Just install like a normal OS, and upon first time desktop, install the relevant drivers. They should acquire to the new OS. Put some nice screen shots up if you can of the new GUI.

If you do not have a secondary system, then keep the ethernet/wi fi adapter drivers on a separate USB stick, else you cannot get to the net.

I just installed on my box yesterday night.

I created a bootable usb from the iso and the just ran the setup from win 7 64. the installer copied everything into windows.old folder. and all the drivers were automatically installed.

Nothing special needed... I installed NVidia drivers and everything seems to run fine...

MISSING MEDIA CENTRE too much :(

I hope final version comes with it..

Pros:-

1. Look seems awesome

2. IE 9 Seems stable on this

3. Copying and many small small things are intelligent now ;)

4. Love the paint

5. Games are also good

6. New and Improved TASK MANAGER pics Below ;)

Cons:-

1. No Media Center

2. Norton Internet Security Doesnt work.---Installed Microsoft Security Essentials...stable again

3. Even Win TV is having some problems..--trying on it and will update

4. Unable to install directx3
