Figured out my problems, there aren't any drivers for my raid controller card (old and not Vista compatible), so I'm ordering a new controller card that is Vista compatible, which will work with Windows 7

Windows 7 Clippy Edition: Gives you lots of "helpful" advice and will offer to guide you through even the most mundane tasks with the help of friendly cartoon characters. "It appears you are trying to open a folder! Do you need help?"

I have the Windows 7 beta. Its a lot better than vista, and in my case, a lot better than xp too

I have my Vista looking like Windows 2000. I reckon I'll do the same with this. It's fricken ugly.

I've got a triple boot: XP/Vista/Ubuntu, and I'd like to try out 7. Is there any way that I can do a normal hdd install from the install disk without it rewriting my MBR? Or would it just be easier to use a VM?
(speed is a consideration here, my laptop is only 2ghz.)

Triple boot on a laptop doesn't sound too good to me (even dual boot would be too much, because of limited resources on a laptop). If you really want to try Windows 7, I would recommend just installing VirtualPC on your Windows system and try it from there. However, running Windows 7 from a virtual machine will only give you the opportunity to take a look at the new interface (GUI) and applications, because you won't get the same performance as if you would run it from a separate partition.

The only resource it really affects is the hard drive, and I've got 250 GB to eat up, so that's not a problem. I've already got VirtualBox on Ubuntu, I'll try it out there. Or maybe under XP. I dunno.
EDIT: Yeah, I know VM's cause a giant performance drop. I'm mostly interested in looking around.
