Microsoft has officially launched the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. If you haven't installed Windows 7 yet, and are planning to, go ahead and make sure you're compatible.
Days before Windows 7 is set to hit general availability, Microsoft has officially announced the release of two Windows 7 compatibility tools over at Microsoft.com/Windows/Compatibility: the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
We've been watching the former ever since it hit beta in May 2009 and the latter since a placeholder page went up in June 2009. Now they're both final, and they're here to let you know whether you're Windows 7 compatible or not. Microsoft is also offering compatibility help from experts via the Microsoft Answers Forums and the Windows Help & How-to team. Microsoft says both tools will be regularly updated with more products over time.

| I didn't see any price for the upgrade listed. I'm sure it's not free. |

| Looks like they learned their lesson from the "Vista Compatible" fiasco. I'm actually typing this from a laptop running the Win7 RC, and it only has 512mb RAM. Still runs great despite technically not meeting the sysreqs. Nice to see them overstating them instead of understating them this time. |
