If you plan to use IE8 (the built in browser), it may not work on some banking sites. I tried it on Wells Fargo's website and it didn't recognize the browser (hence not allowing me to enter the site).

Just an FYI in case you need to access a secure site and have problems.

Wierd~ had windows7 installed on my working laptop. Everything was running perfectly, then it crashed while browsing internet!! Couldnt even turn it off without pulling the battery and power cord!

Battery life is the same if not better for me as vista

Just installed on my old laptop but having quite a few issues with drivers not recognizing Windows 7 >_>

Edit:
Never mind, had to do them all manually.

It looks like you figured it out, but I also loaded Vista drivers when Windows 7 didn't recognize the device and it "appeared" to work.

Problems:

- cannot detect the wireless card on my laptop
- BSOD or freeze when I try and run any of the built-in games (eg. Solitaire, Hearts etc.)
