Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Upgrade Vs clean Install

Is there any long term advantages with the upgrade method?

I opted for the fresh install on a new partition, keeping Vista as dual boot set up.

However W7 does not have 'windows mail or Calender'.
If I opted for the upgrade from Vista would I still have Vista's calender/ mail programs?

I tried Windows live, it OK, but I have set up shortcut's from Vista's partition onto W7 desktop so I can still use the calender/ mail in W7.
I there a better way of doing this?

Smooth as a baby's bottom

I recently upgraded a customer from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It was the first time I'd used the Easy Transfer Wizard. What a joy to use! It was utterly seamless and saved me hours of work, and the customer even more money.

32-64 bit easy transfer?

Re: Andy chips' comment.

Did you get any issues using easy transfer from 32 bit machine to 64 bit machine?
I know easy transfer wont go the other way (64 to 32 bit) as I tried it on a customer machine (x64 Win 7 home premium to x86 win 7 pro) and it failed saying you cannot do that. I assumed it would be the same both ways.

Thanks

Dual Boot

I assume that if I choose Clean Install so that I can Dual Boot I will need to re-install all the Apps that I already have installed under Vista ?
