I installed Windows 7 on my laptop a couple days ago. So far, so good. Boots up and shuts down dramatically faster than Vista. Seems stable. My only gripe has been a couple of programs that are not (yet) compatible with 64 bit Windows. If I had bothered to install 64 bit Vista on this machine instead of 32 bit, I would have had the same thing when I bought this laptop a year ago.
