    I currently have Office 2007 installed on my desktop and was wondering on what would happen when I upgrade it from Vista to Windows 7. I'm thinking that all that would happen is a simple re-activation would take place and then I'd be set, right? Has anyone done this with the RC version, where you upgrade from Vista to W7 with Office 2007 already installed and see what happens?

    Thanks in advance.

    I did a clean install of Win7 RC, so obviously I reinstalled Office 2007. It activated just fine.

    What are you concerned might happen?

    If you upgrade (not do a clean install), you do not need to reactive any Office product. Even if you do a clean install, you can reactivate Office without any problems. I've done so plenty of times.
