i.e. dual boot, partition, virtual machine.
I am running the x86 version on a virtual machine(Virtualbox).
Gave it a 1.00 TB hard drive with 1.5 gb memory.

Using as my main OS 
Currently dual boot RC x64 on main machine, as main OS, (Vista HP x86 as Backup OS for support reasons), have used Windows 7 as primary OS since 6801. Will get my XP mode running again soon, (again for support reasons 
)
) Single boot x86 As a primary OS upgraded over Vista SP1, the transition was smooth with no major issues what so ever
(apart from the lack of windows position and size remembering thingie....... F#@*$#!!, and the baby blue toolbar & panels.... double F#@*$#!! )
There are things like game protection drivers that need addressed (starforce not compatible for instance) but that will come along one day, after all it is a RC.
Over all could not be happier with the outcome of 7.

Win7 is the only OS on here.
Treble boot at the moment, Vista x64/ 7100/ 7127x64.
Main OS (x64), with Vista, XP, Server 2008 and 7100x86 in VM's.
Quick update - am currently writing this post from a virtual XP on a virtual IE 6 so you can add the xp mode to the way I'm running Windows 7

Always install any dummy harddrive.
1. Damage harddrive from virus or some kind of botnet if you install bad ones.
2. Why put the risks with good harddrive on Main OS if things go wrong ?
3. When Win 7 RTM or OEM and Retail are out then ready good clean install fast harddrive out of box.
I have about 3 old harddrive spare lay around, I can play around with it and leave my other larger harddrive good working condition for storage keepers.

Currently back on Vista x86 SP1 and loving it due to sleep mode problems on my setup with Win 7. I have tried duel boot Vista x64 / Win 7 x64, Win 7 x86 as stand alone OS, and duel boot Vista x86 / Win 7 x86. Seven has a lot of potential and I will buy it when it goes retail but right now I`m waiting for SP2 for Vista.

One machine is getting a graphics work out (64 bit, cs suite, corel, blah blah blah)
Another machine is being tested for eccentric hardware/software. (64 bit also)
This is my net book, typical surfing/chatting/porning (32 bit).
All is going well, except on the second one when I can't get drivers for those random pieces of hardware.

Win7 on my main, Ubuntu on my secondary system. Win7 is fine, just some driver issues.
Been using it as my only os since the beta. Currently running build 7127 x64 with zero issues and I am loving it!
Win7 as the main OS (coding, reading, writing, with some gaming) with Mac dual booting..
dont usually boot into mac other than to impress and win some bets that there is a such thing as a tablet that could use a Mac OS...
have suse in another drive but havent used it for sometime...

Main OS but I'm trying to get it to boot on my Blackberry...
Main OS here. No issues so far, with games, IDEs like Eclipse, Visual Studio 2008 and NetBeans running smoothly, as well as every other program I tried (among others: Office 2010 TCP, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Blender)
I've never been happier with a MS prerelease

Swapped in a Fresh Drive for Clean Install and Runnin' 32 Bit Win7 Build 7100 Solo...
I just swap out Cables to the Original Drive to Move programs around, so far, No Issues of Life Altering Nature...
Initial Program Moving went Smooth, but found they ran Better if Downloaded Fresh from respective Sites (IE: Xfire, Combat Arms, AVG 8.5 Free, Cooliris, etc...) while others ran without Hiccup after Copying (Hoyle Puzzle Games and Everest Home Basic- The Later just want Admin to run Sensors)...
Drivers Updated beyond my Original XP Settings on Install and Start Up, Printer Drivers needed Sorted from Manufacturer but the Lexmark was Painless (Took me directly to the Site thru a Link) and the Canon BJC needed a File Downloaded to get the Proper Driver which took a bit Longer, but in the end, I have more Control over my Printer Functions than I had in XP...
It reads my Cobra 5.0 Megapixel Cam as a Webcam, which it does do, but haven't figured that one out yet (It's not actually working on 7 yet)... Haven't tried loading Office 2003 yet either, but it's planned for later this week...
Otherwise, I'm Liking it so far and can't wait for the final product... Oh, and just what Build are we officially in anyway...???
Sorry for the Length, just seemed like relatively important details...

Been using Windows 7 as my main and only OS since Build 6801 and I'm now running Build 7127 x64.
How was that Installed... Fresh or Upgraded from a Previous Version...?????

Seven's my main OS too now. Vista's a backup and is being used less and less.
Windows 7 = entertainment OS ( music, video , games , TV, ect ... ) XP SP3 = Programming/IT OS :P on two pc's
but still vista on my laptop :P
but still vista on my laptop :P
Been using Seven as my primary OS since 6801, booting with Vista SP2(x86) and Ubuntu 9.04. I'm used every single windows 7 build leaked(not counting x86 and x64 versions), except for 7022, up until 7100. I started using x64 with 7000, am not turning back.
Am currently on 7100 and don't plan on upgrading till RTM unless major speed improvements or cool new features(such as glass right menus as rumored) are reported :P

Being Computer Stupid here... Besides Security... What's the Differance between 32 and 64 Bit OS's...???
Well, this is something gone over many times... I just now do this:
64-bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
64-bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it's my one and only OS. i held on to XP on another partition until RC1, then i got over my attachment and filled the partition with something more useful - HD rips of my favorite movies

At the moment as main OS. This is so I can prepare for my transition to the full version once it gets out and I get a new PC. (coming from XP)
i dual boot with vista ultimate but have only booted up 7100 since installing it
I'm using Windows 7 as main OS in all the PCs I use. My PC at work, used for tech service purposes, is using build 7057 x86, my notebook Acer Aspire 4520 was using 7057 x86 too but now I'm using 7100 that have upgraded via clean install a few days ago. And my Core2Quad is using 7048 x64, but I'll install 7127 x64 soon, because 7048 have too many bugs for the what I use it. 
Also, I'm installing Windows 7 on PCs of my family and friends, also to SOME special clients at work.
Windows 7 rulz. Efficient, fast, compatible (too much compatible even when it was on beta phase), comfortable, cute, etc.
I mean, I loved Vista when it came out but, it was a memory hog and needs too much tweaking to make it working good and smooth. Windows 7 needs 10% of the tweaking that Vista needs and even without tweaking is working great. Also with less bugs than Vista.
I recommend to all the people that is using Windows Vista and is not sure to move to Windows 7, to do it. Is better in all the posible ways and, at the moment, free to try.

Dual Booting Win 7 64 with Vista 64. At first, I was using both. But at the present time, I'm almost exclusively using 7.

Overall the upgrade process in Windows 7 is pretty good and vastly improved over Vista, I've not ran into any major issues yet.

My next step is to up grade to 7127, and to try some video editing on it since I've been holding back and still using my older laptop for that.

i did a dual boot once xp and vista but im good with just 7
currently running four operating systems; ubuntu, windows 7 64 bit, windows vista 32 bit, and leopard, but windows 7 is definently my main, and the stupid harddrive format issue is a pain in the ass with mac and windows, and because ubuntu and windows are the same format i stick with seven, and because its the best.
Main OS on my desktop which also runs Vista Business x64 SP2.
Have Win7 Home Premium on Laptop and Ultimate on the main desktop. Got rid of Linux and XP. I now love Win7 again after fixing up the issues that I had Thanks Win7forums! lol
