Be aware that 7229 is configured for OEM distribution, which means it doesn't support upgrading from an existing version (be it vista or 7). Also, you may have trouble upgrading it to a later version. This means you have to do a clean install and reinstall all your apps.
I upgraded from 7201 with no problemsAs to upgrading further along the line not sure
I stand corrected then. I was told this didn't allow upgrades, and that made sense given that it was an OEM version. Odd.
I have to ask. What exactly is snappier about it?

ok, maybe nobody saw my question earlier, so....

A CLEAN INSTALL is always the recommended way to go anyhow.. ESPECIALLY when installing interim daily builds..I still say it's a waste of time to download them but if you must than please (to avoid a bunch of unwanted problems) do a clean install..
People keep saying this, but I keep installing upgrades and have had no issues on my machine at all.
Sorry, but clean installs each time?I've got a lot configured on this system and that would take a very long time.
If Microsoft is willing to provide an upgrade option in the install, it must work. Seems to just fine for me. 7100 from Vista, 7201 from 7100 and now 7229 from 7201. No problems at all.
