    I received my copy of Windows 7 yesterday and upgraded Vista last night. So far, no drama except for taking nearly 3 hrs. When the upgrade was finished and the window to enter the CD key came up the screen went black. That was a little disconcerting, but a restart fixed the glitch and all went well after that. I didn't do a clean install because I have too many programs installed and reinstalling would have been a pain. I got a message near the beginning of the process that told me iTunes should be uninstalled, decided against that because I have way too many CD's converted. iTunes seems to work fine after the upgrade, so life is good!

    Added: Also it looks like the Command Center works, although, you get a popup asking if you want to run the software. I just checked the facial recognition and that works also( had to remove my glasses to be recognized though).
