I will be adding onto this review with more things that I like and dislike about windows 7 in bold text at the end of the post check back often.
Just installed windows 7 beta 64 bit edition ver 7000 and WOW I'm very impressed. I chose not to do a clean install and did the upgrade option from vista ultimate 64 bit. By doing the upgrade all my programs and settings were transferred to windows 7 but it does replace vista. It went smooth as butter it does take longer to do the upgrade. It took about 2 hours to do the upgrade but I think it's well worth the time conidering I dont have to back up and re install and change the settings how i want for all my programs i had. But it is a good idea to back up your most important files just incase something bad happens. I just cant wait till the official build!

Update 1-14-09:
* Kodak esp 7 drivers don't work properly in windows 7 64bit. When I ad the printer and do the print test it works perfectly. But when I try to print from any other app I get errors.
* I love the networking options. They have made home networking a little easier with the ability to make "Home Groups". Here's more info the the Homegroup networking feature and how to do it. http://keznews.com/5240_Windows_7:_HomeGroup_Overview
* The personalize options with themes work much faster with more options then vista they also allow you to have rotating wallpapers. Where you choose a bunch of different wall papers/images and set a timer to them and your wallpaper will change/ fade into the next wallpaper on what ever timing you set. You can also download more themes and gadget for windows 7 here.
*Here's how to get google chrome working in windows 7 64 bit. Right click on the google chrome short cut and past in --in-process-plugins at the end of the target location with a space between the location so it looks like this C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --in-process-plugins
