Every one of my family members, self included, that has had tried to purchase Windows 7 and install it has had to spend hours jumping through all sorts of hoops. I started installing Windows on my mother's new computer at 3:00pm today. Now it's 7:30pm. I'm a digital/intellectual property-creator myself, but I'm just about done yelling "shut up and take my money" at Microsoft... Ugh.
