windows 7 beta available for free Jan 9 (!)

Crap! So much for my cunning plan to run the 64-bit version in a Virtual PC (note to self: RTFM before downloading the iso!).
Looks like I'll have to install to an extra harddrive afterall...

You can install it in a VM - it is just Aero doesn't work so the TaskBar look clunky (though it still works)

Interesting, my Vista (1st drive) didn't show up either. A part me just put it down to a purposeful decision by MS to prevent 7 messing up another installation without you expressly allowing access to it. But I have no backing for that, just a hunch.

Yes, but I'll need to download the 32-bit version to run it in most of the VM solutions available and, AFAICT, in any of the free/cheap options.
So, I could run it in VM but I'll need to download the 32-bit iso. No big deal, I'm just not sure I can be bothered at the moment.

Not necessarily so, VirtualBox now supports 64bit guests if you have VT-x or AMD-V.

How does it look like without whole fancy-glassy Aero stuff? Is it possible to disable theming service?

Looks pretty good to me. Especially since it can't run Aero with my test machine's onboard video. ;D
