1. I am, and will probably remain, the only one who voted Yes on this poll
And you can count my vote 892 times (give or take a few - people die and retire, etc.) because that's how many computers I'm pre-ordering it for.

So, the score so far is 892 to 9. :P

3. I ordered it yesterday
for the two newish computers I built about 9 months ago. For $50 I figure what the hell.

5. Do you have to do a clean install over Vista?
Or just upgrade and supposedly not lose stuff.

9. I ordered it last week. It's half price, so what the heck.
They don't charge you till it ships.

Right now I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit Release Candidate) on a virtual PC set up on my XP Pro Media Center 2005, AMD dual core on a Dell E521. So far I love it! :smoke:
