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.

Lol, illegal for the major loss. Thanks to Microsoft Business Partnership program, my copy is legit.  
 

it's just a beta. the illegal copy works just as well as a legit copy. i got updates on my 6801 rip.

Mis-read. Ignore it

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

(upgrading shouldn't erase anything)

Install it on a dif partition and you will be fine.
