I bought it for $29.99 and I liked it. I found it pretty user friendly. What do you guys think?

@STUPIDA like i said it came out recently for public so all the software drivers may not be out. like in my case i got windows 7 pro from MSDN Academic Alliance. i got month before it was out for public. i usually wait for couple months after new OS is out but this time i forgot to wait and also i was tired with vista. So in my case my inbuilt microphone doesnt work at this moment cuz HP hasn't released windows 7 drivers. they will probably do it soon.  Beside that i dont find any problem with windows 7. i like it better than vista. just make sure you have recovery disk of your vista so if you dont like windows 7 you can switch back to vista or you can also do a partition and assign like 70-100 gb for windows 7 and have both OS on your computer and later if you like Windows  7 you can delete the other partition  & or vice versa.

Thanks Guys...But still I am waiting for the answer to my question. How smooth is the Upgrade process? Do I loose all my documents and other programmes and software that are currently in my computer?...I do have a SQL SERVER 2008 Developer edition install in my computer. DOes it gonna affect any of these?

 

Upgrading to Windows 7

XP to Win 7

If you’re upgrading from Windows XP, you’ll need to do a clean install of Windows 7. You’ll have to reinstall your programs. Your data will be wiped off the hard drive. So, back it up.

Vista to Win 7

If you have a Vista machine, you can do an in-place upgrade. You dont have to reinstall your programs, and your data shouldn’t be affected. However, there are some Consideration - First, if you switch from 32- to 64-bit or vice versa, a clean install is needed. Whether you need a clean install or not, play it safe. Back up your data before installing Windows 7. It is always good idea to backup all your data and programs - be in safe side backup everything rather than to feel sorry later .

You don't lose any documents while installing the software, but it may take a while to download and install the program( may be more than 5 hrs). You may lose your illegally obtained software ( I'm not sure in this case). 
Here is one of  the features of Windows 7-
