Should I just make a new partition for Windows 7 or put it on a seperate hard drive and swap it out for W7 use? -

I want to try windows 7 but I don’t want to lose data by putting it on (new partition) my primary use hard drive but it would be nice to have a triple boot (XP, Vista, and 7) if I could manage to do it. Is Windows 7 stable enough or for my primary hard drive?

Hard drives are cheap now. I bought one for laptop and installed W7 on it. Took 45 minutes from receiving disk from UPS man till W7 was up and running.

Windows 7 Beta is very stable, however it expires in August of this year after which it will no longer function. Therefore I recommend you create a separate partition (not triple boot) or even better if you have a spare Hard Drive (40gb+) kicking around then install Windows 7 on there.
