several pre release betas, RC1 and the full release Enterprise on
everything from a Lenovo S10 to a Dell Optiplex 360.with no real
issues.
I would strongly recommend skipping Vista entirely and make the jump
from XP straight to Seven.
Just be aware that there is no standard upgrade path. In other words,
plan on doing clean installs or re-imaging of equipment. And for
those of you already running Windows 2008 in your domains, there are
already some very nice central management tools for Windows Seven.
