while a clean install would be best, you should be able to do an "upgrade" install.. where you keep all your settings and files but it still installs the OS. Infact i am certain you can do this, says so on their site. You could always do what I am doing... burning everything I want to keep to a few DVD-R's and do a clean install...
I have been using win7 since the beta came out and I have been fairly impressed. It still lacks some features I'd like to see.. but it is faster and the features it does have seem more useful than vista's... if you take the time to disable everything you don't normally need the OS speeds up nicely.. I will say I didn't notice more than a 10% increase in speed over vista, but I was running both on a 4.5ghz quadcore.. so perhaps lower end machines will have greater gains in speed.
Still.. I'd like to see someone (aside from linux based OS's) deviate from the whole glass/glossy UI... be nice to see something new and innovative... rather than lightly improving something everyone has been doing for years..
Edit: and you should be able to change the background color of the new "start" button... if you make the interface red.. the little blue circular windows button just does not fit in...
