Probably the easiest installation I had with any M$ product and I've not seen any intarweb dropouts either while using beta or release. That said, I automatically apply the Latency Fix to stop the OS waiting for a couple of TCP packets to arrive before acknowledging their receipt which speeded up my WoW performance considerably. In fact, as my ISP supports and uses IP6, I'm getting better performance internet-wise than I had using XP. Also upgraded the XP laptop to Win7 but didn't have anything vital on the system partition that I couldn't afford to loose, so it wasn't too much of an issue for me. I can understand the frustration on your part though. I’ve been running Win7 beta RC and did the upgrade to Win7 proper last weekend for which I had to blank my drive anyway.
