Works like a charm and plenty of room to spare for Win7.
I've been using this "beta" for a week now and to be honest, it doesn't feel like a beta, Vista did when it came and it still feels like beta.

Microsoft has outdone themselves with Win7, it's sleek, it's fast and to my knowledge, it's stable. To be honest, I have never bought a windows licence but if Microsoft keeps up the good work and makes Windows 7 even better than it is today then I'd proudly go to the store an pay up for my very own legit copy of Windows 7.]]>Jan 10th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/microsoft-puts-full-scale-windows-7-beta-back-in-action/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/microsoft-puts-full-scale-windows-7-beta-back-in-action/My words Cheng!

sometimes i get annoyed at [technology savvy] people saying windows is too expensive, so i'll get it illegally. if you're like most of the other nerds bumpin around engadget, you use your computer EVERY DAY.

buck up and buy a damn copy already. what's it come to, like $100 a year (given new os's are released on a 3-4 year cycle)

so thank you for supporting your local MS executive. :]

.I dont crack final release OSes but I figured this was a beta and by being a tester I am doing them a service so I see no problem with it.
posting from a samsung nc10 running windows 7 build 7000. works great in everything but havent tested battery life vs xp yet.
