The installation is very straightforward, the processes is simple nowadays as it is to install Windows.

I'm not sure if i'm misunderstanding the meaning of this post, but I think that duki was saying to get the latest version because its as easy as windows 7, not windows 98

I don't get what you mean by this? I've been using the same installation of windows 7 since windows 7 came out and it's the same as when I installed it?

Windows wants to be the first entry in the bootloader so it erases it to write a new one while installing. It only appends to the bootloader if it identifies that the bootloader is from an earlier version of windows. This is why installing Windows 7 after Vista or XP (as separate OSes, not upgrade) poses no issues--it shows both OSes in the boot menu. Installing XP after 7 wipes out the bootloader--XP doesn't have an idea what windows 7 is since the latter is newer--so it only shows XP after the install. If you have linux on the bootloader (which is most likely grub), it will become inaccessible as windows will install its own bootloader. There are ways around this issue though.
