You can check cross check your system with the Minumum Requirements by going to Start->Run->type 'dxdiag'

Update: It seems an easier way to see if your PC is ready is to use Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. The article link can be found here:

So guys, what do you think of Microsoft's new product eh?

 

It sounds like they are making a token offering for home networking in case their Windows Home Server product does not take off extremely well. I actually like Windows Vista for home use but there are too many bells and whistles for most business' to take it seriously. I will have to put together a workstation and check Windows 7 out.

 

Ditto, Vista was too flashy and maybe that's why many people prefer to stick with XP instead. But personally I think Vista's good when you plan to use 64bit and if you do some tweaking you can achieve some awesome results Check out my desktop: LINK

Though some people who were hardcore XP users actually like the new OS 'cause it's actually very efficient and has some nifty features. So far as I've seen, I just don't like the theme skin. I prefer less glossier ones and more business/professional like.
In the future I'm planning on dual booting my PC with Vista and Windows7. When i do find time to buy a DVD haha :D I'll tell you guys my review on it.
