can it handle Windows Seven Beta without problems?

However, you won't be able to upgrade. 7 can be upgraded only from Vista, of similar Architecture. So if you want to upgrade, then its advisable to simply install it in another partition. Else install Vista first, don't install any drivers, as you won't be using them (though they'll get used in 7. Most devices don't have 7 drivers yet and use Vista's drivers, so its upto you), and then install 7.
