Why not stick with Ultimate? Its a £10 difference on Amazon.
You probably won't use the extra features but it does mean you can look down on the Pro users

I've just done the upgrade and it seems to have worked ok.

The advisor said something about my laptop graphics card too, and initially it didn't work but then sorted it out with Windows update.

Cheers

I've got Acronis Disk Director turning up in the post soon, so once thats installed and I've created a new partition I'll stick it on and have a look

I only need it installed and running properly for a week or so to see if it's compatible with my laptop. The Windows 7 upgrade advisor seemed to question my graphics card

Windows 7 Release Candidate

Can the release candidate still be installed or is it going to complain and ask for a license key?
