It was easy as pie for me. I installed it on a seperate partition, and it recongnized all the other OS's I have installed. Including XP with no issues.


As far as the download, I had to download it in IE. FF and Chrome wouldn't go through with the download for some reason. But IE worked fine. (for once)

Almost 48hours, no crashes, no BSOD's, no restarts, nothing. So far it's lasted longer then Vista did on my machine..

I also had to use IE because the site uses an ActiveX control to download the file.

Burning to DVD now and will be installing in about 2 minutes!

Compare it to the one Microsoft listed next to the download (or they should somewhere on the page).
