Installing Windows 7 (Part One: Goodbye Vista!)

I couldn't wait to get Windows 7 to say goodbye to Vista! My PC has a dual-core 3 Ghz Intel processor and a great video card (I am a gamer, after all!), and Vista has always ran like a slug. Well, that is, if slugs could run, they'd probably be pretty slow!

So anyway, I got Windows 7 through the Microsoft Partner Program, and I've finally gotten time to install it. I'm going to completely overwrite Vista with a fresh install.

I already have multiple partitions: one for Vista, one for XP, and one for Ubuntu (go Linux!), so I'm going to have to restore the dual-boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP so that it launches after Grub. But otherwise, this should hopefully be a smooth-sailing upgrade.
