Stoked for Windows 7

It's in my hand! Actually, at this point Vista is not that bad anymore, all things considered. But there are two things I'm really looking forward to:

1. Finally taking the plunge into complete 64-bit;
2. New wallpapers.

You can do a full clean install on a blank hard drive with just the upgrade media, as with Vista. Paul Thurrott's excellent SuperSite outlines the procedure here:

I have Vista and can do an in-place upgrade over it, but I prefer to blow out all the cobwebs. I do forget to back up something every time, though. Last time it was my bookmarks and savegames. What will it be this time?
