It's way faster than Vista. Almost comparable to XP.

You have to do a clean install though.

iTunes should work the same on it.

My iTunes didn't want to work with my Shuffle, it wanted to re-sync.

But yes, it's way faster then Vista and XP ( I have both of them on seperate partitions)

I use the RC 7100 version.

I really hope Windows 7 is way better than Vista. Vista is by far the worst operating system.

I have been using windows 7 (RC 7100) for several months now. Is very very stable and it will run every program i have tried on it with no problems. If there is any trouble you can enable compatibility mode for that certain program (this can be done on vista too) and it will run fine. I have to agree it is much faster than vista was (i used vista for over a year), BUT you need the proper hardware to run it. Vista was designed with multi-core processors in mind (Dual core, quad core) and most people are trying to run it on a piece of shit single core. Thats why vista sucks for you! On the same note, vista was also designed with DirectX 10 in mind. If you do not have a graphics card that supports DirectX 10 on the hardware level, you will have roughly half the FPS in most game compared to using a DirectX 10 card (From personal testing, this was my results.) Windows 7 takes the multi-core and DirectX10 even further, so don't expect Windows 7 to run like a beast on a 5 year old computer, it wont. It will be slower than vista.

I couldn't crack the RTM on my MacBook (due to the fact that it involves the BIOS (which Macs don't have). So I just took it off.

I may put it in Virtualbox or something though later.

I have Windows 7 RC 7100 on my MacBook (Bootcamp) It runs great, I had some 360 controller issues with XP that I couldn't use the controller on GTA4 (for pc), the drives work great on windows 7. just my opinion.

The only problems with Windows 7 (Home Premium) is some compatability issues and ATI driver issues. The compatability issues can usually be fixed by the Windows 7 compatability tool. But once in a while you may download or install a program that will refuse to work with Windows 7 but that is rarely a problem. The other issue with the ATI drivers is that a handful of the ATI Mobile video cards do not have stable drivers that are provided by the AMD support section of the AMD website. The only way to get the working/stable drivers is to download them from your laptop manufacturers website and they were all created before the major release of Windows 7 so if there are issues there is not a wide amount of support for you until ATI releases non-beta versions of the Windows 7 drivers. But those are very specific problems. Other than that Windows 7 works great.
