Yes, I've installed Win7 and, like I said, I use it on my primary laptop alongside Linux. It's a good OS if you take care of it but I would still hold to my assertion that it is now easier and faster to install a distro like Ubuntu. Most people's difficulties with Linux would not be attributed to the installation process but to having to migrate to alternative ways of installing software and/or migrating from windows software to their Linux alternatives.
