You can do a dual boot or if you do the clean install Win7 creates a folder called Windows.old and inside of it has 3 directories containing 'Documents and Settings', 'Program files' and 'Windows'. This gives you access to previous files etc. You would have to reinstall your programs doing it this way but for me I didn't mind. I only reinstall a program when I find I need it again. I didn't have any problem with drivers, Win7 found them all during the install process. That has never happened for me before so I was pleasantly surprised. To me Windows 7 just works. There are many subtle changes that make 'just works' happen. The TaskBar has what they call AeroPeek. If you have multiple programs and files open it makes it a breeze to switch between them. The best new feature for me is what they call Libraries. Its like a directory that you can point to multiple directories so that all the files contained in the multiple directories show up in one place. Like I said before they got it right this time, at least for my needs and preferences.
