I wouldn't recommend it, but only because I'm not doing it myself, and I haven't tested previous beta versions of Windows, so I can't say what the experience is like and will neither recommend it or recommend against it.

Maybe, at least if you have a computer that you can afford a bit of downtime on, you should try it out. Apparently the pre-shipping discount on the upgrade to Windows 7 is for a limited time and it may cost a lot more after that. --- Windows 7 is coming on October 22, 2009. Here's an easy way to get it fast and save a bunch: Pre-order a Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for $49 or a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $99. That's about half off the estimated retail prices. This offer is available through participating retailers. Pick one below and pre-order today. They'll tell you how to get your copy when Windows 7 is available. microsoft.com news.cnet.com
