You "can" install SharePoint Foundation to Windows 7 but... You have to own Professional edition.
Unfortunately, with my new Windows 7 Home Premium edition laptop I was not able to set up SharePoint Foundation. I found out that on Win 7 Home Premium  IIs supports only Basic authentication and SP Foundation does not work......

Reusable workflows, which  are introduced in SharePoint 2010, are cool!
You can create your workflow in development / test environments and then move it to production like a solution, it is very easy.
You should create the workflow as a reusable workflow from the start if you want to use it on other farms....

After I installed Sharepoint 2010, I tried to figure out how certain services work without Search Services Provider. As we already know, there are no SSP's anymore in 2010 architecture.
So I configured  a FAST Search Connector. But It didnt work quite allright so I tried to delete it. No luck! There were no options in Central Administration to delete a Search Service Application after creating it....

Before upgrading to SharePoint 2010, you should run preupgradechecker and Test:SpContentDatabase..
Preupgrade checker should be run on the 2007 instance and Test:spcontentdatabase should be run on Sharepoint 2010.
After you run the preupgradechecker, it creates an html file containing your farm details. In my case, there were lots of missing features!...
