Anyone else going to upgrade to Windows 7? I probably will. I'm just waiting for my friend over at Modmyeee.com to upgrade the Eee7 build from the beta build to the RTM build.
How about you guys?

If they give me a free copy, I'd be happy to have it installed somewhere.

I'd get Windows 7 another way. You know how, before October. Besides, I don't have a DVD drive anyway. Nor do I plan on buying one.
Why can't company's use CD format?
Edit: I'd be installing it on my Eee. My old PC is going to die eventually anyway. I'll let it stay in it's assisted living home called "XP". Trying to get my 900mhz Eee might present problems, and have issues, espically with a 4gb SSD. But it has been said to run much better than Vista, and a bit faster than XP on Eee.

Not likely.
I bought Vista last year.
Honestly, I'm a little rattled that the people that actually bothered to invest in Vista, and tide MS over are the one's that lose out.
Whats that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?
No. It's Microsoft followed by a slap in the face.
Unsurprisingly, Windows 7 isn't here in time for the start of the new academic year.
A lackluster student-laptop line-up, coupled with a 'buy-in' to a soon to be retired operating system makes for a wholly unattractive deal. So much so, that I'm actually considering buying an Apple iBook.
There is no way I will pay for Vista twice in 18 months, and then 'upgrade' to Windows 7 shortly thereafter.
Especially now that M$ are talking openly about plans for a 2-4 year life cycle for each OS.
