I'll try Vista first then see if I can find a Windows 7 upgrade and hopefully I can figure out how to dual boot them.

Installing Windows 7 on top Vista worked fine for me, it was when I re-installed Vista that I seemed to lose my MBR....though it was easily fixed.

They are still offering Reg Codes for the Windows 7 Beta version too, you just need a copy of the ISO to create an install disk as they don't offer it for download any more.

I didn't get a copy of the beta as I was waiting until I have the system up and running and get a bit comfortable with Vista.

From the comments I have read Windows 7 looks good though.
