I've done the install a half-dozen times now. If your gear is running fine under Vista 64, you've already solved the 32-bit driver issue, which was the only one I found. (Lost a webcam on a netbook that only had 32-bit drivers. 32-bit apps run fine, at least the ones I've tried so far).

Assuming you have optical media, it's about a half-hour procedure max. Super clean, at least in my experience. I installed XP on a virtual box the other day and it was like waiting for a glacier to melt by comparison. Win7 is much faster than that.

If you do not have optical media and need to install from a USB thumb, let me know - there's a couple of wrinkles but when you get it worked out that sucker flies. That's the way I'll be installing from now on...

I may be doing that in the near future to a netbook. Why don't you just post your method?
