Microsoft is going to release Windows 7 to public tomorrow, October 22nd, 2009. If you are planning to purchase a copy of Windows 7 RTM, you should first check whether your current system is compatible with Windows 7 or not.
"Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" helps you in find out whether your PC is ready for Windows 7 or not. It scans your PC for potential compatibility issues and lets you know about your Windows 7 upgrade options. Within minutes, you'll get a report that tells you if your PC meets the system requirements, if any known compatibility issues with your hardware, devices, and installed programs are found, and gives guidance on what to do to before installing Windows 7 on your PC.
Before you begin: Be sure to plug in and turn on any USB devices or other devices, such as printers, external hard disks, and scanners, that you regularly use with the PC you're checking.

Nice tool to help people feel confident in upgrading, however I've been using the TechNet RTM, so not needed.

Nice tool... but with surprises!
I scanned my PC (with a Canon scanner, a Lexmark printer, wireless mouse & keyboard and a webcam) and these latter 3 items had the red cross mark (not compatible), while the rest was quite ok: hardware is good and some programs only need upgrade...
But the mistery is that the three "red crossed" items are all from Microsoft!!!
A wonderful Laser Wireless keyboard (and mouse) 7000 and a Microsoft LiveCam VX-1000 are not compatibe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They suggest to disinstall them before upgrading and there are new drivers/softwares to download by yourself...
Fortunately somewhere in my cellar I kept a old keyboard/mouse USB wired pair! Never throw them away!!
Strange, but MicroSoft!
