On the PC that our intern uses we upgraded XP Pro to Vista Business to the
Win7RC. We ran into an issue where the PC always wants to restart to finish
installing an unspecified update after you log in. If you click cancel, it'll
just work normal but it was annoying. Did you update the Vista after
installing it or go straight to the Win7?

On the family computer was XP Pro.
There is no XP Pro to Win7 upgrade so I had to go XP > Vista Ultimate > Win7
Ultimate.
Took half the day but worked like a charm.
My PC I flattened XP and installed from scratch.
Not for the faint of heart of for a computer that matters (like a work
computer) but a fun challenge.

Windows 7 is very, very nice. I especially like how the Taskbar has been
changed, and the fact that you no longer need a sidebar (just drop it on the
desktop).
It's faster than Vista. I have two installs done so far -- a clean x64 and an
in-place upgrade of x86, and they're both running smoothly.
Wireless networking configuration is MUCH better than before.
Overall, lots of pleasant changes including performance and usability. I have
3 more systems to convert by the end of the month, or early September.

I have my first Windows 7 x64 Enterprise client up and running. I have added
the RSAT for 7 RTM, and the System Center Essentials Console as well. Office
Enterprise 2007 and a couple of more applications like Forefront Client
Security. I have run into on issue that may be just a bug in my setup or
something more but I can only get 2 Hotmail accounts configured. Under Vista I
had three. System Center Essentials can not deploy a client to this system but
I have just started looking at the issues.
Other than what I have mentioned so far I see a big differences in the GUI
(think some users will like it others will dislike it but all will need
training). The load time is much faster to get to the login but about the same
to get to a useable desktop but I have not really done any timing of the loads.
The ability to load Bluetooth devices as in they are ready at the login
prompt, very sweet. Cisco AnyConnect works a bit faster but we will see if it
stays that way. Windows Explorer GUI is a major change and I think the users
will hate it. The Firewall GUI has been changed big time but I think this is a
good change. It is easier to see what applications are permitted under which
of 3 network conditions. You can make changes but at the moment I need to be
the Administrator to make the changes (users are permitted to allow exceptions
by GPO). All of this within about 2 hours of loading and starting work with
if. Loading the OS (scratch load), loading the Vista drivers, and loading all
the applications took about 12 hours in total with about 2 to 3 of those hours
spent transfering files from a USB drive. I did all the patching off domain
and only put the machine into the domain after it was loaded with
programs/applications but before any AV or personal files. Adding it to the
domain and getting it configured with AV was just as fast as with Vista or
faster. Windows Update Services seems to be a bit faster.
