No aero offcourse, but it worked, smoother than XP (think 34 processes right after install). Only problem was not being able to get online because no driver was installed for NIC. I don't know whether this was because of Win7 still being in test-version, or the antique components in that PC not being supported anymore. Actually this applies to more components, such as sound cards.


Word of advice:

If you plan on putting this on your primary and perhaps only PC, collect all the drivers you need after intalling Win7 beforehand.

That's good advice !!! From what I've heard and read, 7 is better about finding hardware than Vista was when released (had nightmares 'o plenty with that)! Once I figure out what hardware I'm going to have I'll start collecting drivers on my flash drive.
