if you think burning a .iso image to a dvd is an “obstacle” then i suggest you are out of your depth when it comes to installing a new OS.

personally, i’ve installed the beta 7000 release, and recently updated to the RC. on both occassions i used the official MS releases downloaded directly. i used Virtual Clone CD, mounted the images and installed without burning a disc. still required a backup though.

Hiya, I installed Microsoft Virtual PC and then installed windows 7 into that and put it on a separate external usb drive.

So no problems here yet.

Saludos,

Have done this with the initial testing Windows 7 on a netbook Advent 4213. Not too difficult. For the ISO I used Winrar and tranferred int to a 8GB flash drive and went from there following the instructions that come with the system. All OK. Best of luck, but nothing to fear just be patient.

Good luck with the installation. As for myself, I will wait until the finished product is out and check on users to see how good it is.
Windows has been a disappointment on several attempts to create a better OS. Windows XP is still the champ of all the OS so far.
I’ll say a powerful prayer, you will need it.
Bet some of your programs will not work after you install 7. Bye, Bye.
