Doing an in-place upgrade can take several hours if you've got a fair amount of data on your OS partition (ie applications and user data). I repartitioned my main OS drive to have 100GB free for Win7 and installed it fresh on its own partition, took about 15 minutes plus 5 minutes to repartition both XP partitions (XP32 & XP64). Not even a speedy drive...
I've got most things installed in Win7 but it will be some time before I migrate anything worthwhile, and I probably won't migrate anything really important until I have a retail copy installed as I don't want the hassle of 'updating' the RC manually.

So I skipped the updates during installation. Apparently too many people were trying to get them and it just stopped. Everything went fine after that. It didn't use my graphics card driver so I had to install that again which it accepted. The main thing is that the RAID is still intact and working as is Cubase and my audio card, the later of which is better than before as I explain in the other thread.
