Windows 7 (beta 1)

Who here has upgraded a Vista install rather than starting afresh?

I want to try out the beta and, if it's stable enough, use it as my main OS rather than Vista but I'm dreading reinstalling all my apps so the upgrade option looks tempting.

I've also heard that there will be no upgrade path from the beta to the full retail, when it's released, so I'm looking at a reinstall then anyway. Don't really want to go through all the pain now only to have to do it again relatively soon so I'm contemplating just upgrading.

Anyone done it? What were your experiences?
