Installed the Beta copy this afternoon with no issues at all. I'm dual booting with XP... windows boot manager did a fantastic job upon start up asking me which version I would like to boot. The first thing I liked was the OS detected dual monitors and automatically extended my desktop which was cool. I used the Vista drivers for my Linksys USB wireless adapter without a hitch. Installing software now... so far so good. Uses less system resources than Vista and boots up just as fast as XP.

Nope... W7 has a much more comprehensive driver package than Vista. You should be ok.
