I did a clean install of Win 7 RC on a friends laptop yesterday and I was done in two hours maximum, and that included program installs and upgrades. The driver support seems excellent in Win 7 as it found and installed everything on its own. (Remember installing a clean copy of XP? now we are talking fiddling with drivers and software, especially if you had to start from a disc with no sp 1 & 2 included)
I never missed Xp a beat after moving to win 7, I skipped Vista though.

Have to agree with you on the drivers. 7 had no problem installing all the drivers of all the printers on the network and for the PC. Of course my documents files were on the server.
