I deauthorized my computer in iTunes before the upgrade (thanks for the tip Microsoft) and reauthorized afterwards. Plugged in my iPhone and it synched fine, music plays fine, no problems.</p> I did not need to reinstall iTunes after my Win7 upgrade today.

Apple's how-to's are more hands on with the actually product where Windows how-to's are simply another way to try and make you buy it, offering "ways" to use your new operating system...sad and pathetic Microsoft, very sad</p> You can clearly see the difference between Apple and Windows here.

Getting windows 7 and installing is just more complicated for the average user than need be. Upgrade vs full version. Upgrade install vs Clean install. Add in Ultimate, professional, and home plus 32 and 64 bit and it's a mess. (not so much for me..but all the usual friends & relative giving me calls wondering what to do).

Nope...it unzips contents into another folder and proceeds to the "install windows" screen. </p> <p>No problem. I quickly burned a dvd and made a bootable USB thumbrive with it.

No rush for me as Windows 7 RC works great. I guess i'll be busy enough installing this for others this month though.</p> I love windows 7 and have always used windows.
