I'm downloading Windows 7 64 bit off MSDNAA right now. My friend downloaded it earlier and said it wasn't in an ISO, but was just a bunch of files with a 64-bit only installer. I'll see if that's the case when it's done. Has anyone downloaded W7 off MSDNAA? What was your experience like?

I upgraded to 7 this evening. Apart from a bad disk causing me issues (the install disk managed to wipe my partition, but not to check that it was complete, and so it failed half way though install, leaving me OSless), it was quite smooth. I like the new taskbar, and it seems snappier than vista (although that's probably mostly due to the lack of 9 months of crud). I upgraded to 64 bit. I ran 64 bit Vista briefly about a year ago, but general unstableness (and a little Genuine Advantage trouble) lead me to go back to the version that came with my laptop. Hopefully 7 won't have any problems (no Genuine Advantage problems this time - I love MSDNAA!). That ninite.com website linked earlier is fantastic! It had about 3/4 of my frequently used software. I selected what I wanted, clicked download, ran the installer and a reboot later (installed avast) and I had about 10 programs that would've taken much longer to install individually. Certainly a malware danger there, but I haven't had any issues.
