you can upgrade vista but i'd recommend installing it on a seperate partition.

(upgrading shouldn't erase anything)

But you can't use the feedback system as they don't care about non-partner/WinConnect people.

Most people just want to try it and couldn't give a shit about actually trying to give feedback.

OP: You can upgrade it, but it's probably best to partition your drive and set it up separately because it is a beta, and it will expire, so if you don't buy Win 7 before the expiration date then your system will effectively not work.

I installed it on my MacBook over the 6801 beta, and it works quite nicely. It even recognised my external screen using the miniDVI port, I was quite impressed. I don't really have much use for it other than to just test it out and for the rare times I do need to use Windows.
