Windows – How Soon Should I Start Getting My Program Ready for Windows 7

compatibilitymsdnwindows 7

Microsoft already has a Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview Program on their MSDN site where they encourage us to: "Evaluate and jump-start your development efforts on Windows 7 Beta".

Do you feel it is worthwhile to spend my time now re Windows 7, or should I wait a few releases, or even until after Windows 7 is released?

What are the advantages and disadvantages to starting this early?

I've installed windows 7 on two computer. So far, there has only been one small issue (the software did not find a USB device). I ran the compatibility wizard and now it works fine.

They have made it easy enough for a end user to take care of.

It's basically Vista 6.2. Lots of good improvements but not a new operating system. So it's no rush to test,
