While the tech media are all busy praising Windows 7, the operating system still obviously does have issues, it being Windows and all. Because we are talking about Windows, and not, say Ubuntu or Mac OS X, it comes with one big downside that will mostly hit new users of Windows 7 (meaning, everyone): the incredibly complicated upgrade paths.

Remove the 32 to 64 and 64 to 32 bit moves and the table becomes much simpler. Few people are going to move from 32 to 64 bit in upgrading the Winodws 7. You either have a PC that can benefit from 64 bit, or you don't. If you do, you've got a server-type hardware, or a Core i7 MB, and probably got it because you wanted to run 64 bit Vista.
