I'm shortly going to be getting a new cMBP. My plan is to run a VM (either P8or Fusion, making that decision right now) with Win 7.

I have both a 32 bit and 64 bit licence for Win 7, although my current PC is running the 32 bit.

Given that Mac's are 64 bit, can I port over my existing PC licence as is, then upgrade to 64 bit, or should I go with a clean install? (I'm using the upgrade disks for Win 7), then port over the apps that I need?

Thanks for the advice.

Edit: no response necessary. Went with a clean install of Win7 x64. Install went well, updates finished the next morning, now waiting for Migration Assistant to finish moving a bunch of files.
