Thinking of upgrading to windows 7 when it comes out on October 22nd?

Here is some things to watch out for:

1. Windows XP (and lowers) need a clean install to windows 7. Which means you will need to back up your files before you do the upgrade.

2. Windows Vista to windows 7 upgrade is possible, but clean install in recommended. Why? A clean install allows you to start fresh, to get rid of the old. While an upgrade is possible its better to just do it clean. Note: A Clean install on upgrade means you must have a different partition and you must be logged into the old one for it to work.
