So your saying the upgrade went fine? isn't it usually better to do a full fresh install?

Well, if you are worried about upgrading, do the "fresh install". It will still copy your windows stuff to windows.old and then you can import it all later.
Also extract portions of your registry you might want... Say you use Windows Live Writer for blog posting, copy that section of the registry to import later and keep your passwords and accounts. Same with Dreamweaver. Same with AOL should you still be using it. Same with Firefox...
Then when you clean install you can copy the windows.old/user/[your account name]/appdata/[local and roaming]/Windows Live Writer/*
etc... over and be right back where you were before starting the process...
Also, the 64bit version is nice. You can go to
http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx and pick up a couple extra gigs of ram for almost nothing. Get at least 6gigs and you will no longer use a paging file when switching between open and minimized windows. The speed difference in that alone is worth the upgrade.
