    If the SEP version is MR4 or higher then you can install normally.

    Should not have any issues.

    NOTE:

    Windows 7 is still not officially released.

    As per sources, Microsoft’s planned release of Windows 7 on October 22, 2009

    Once its officially Released, Symantec Endpoint Protection would be supporting it.

    i tried the install and it hung at the final stage.
    i had to reboot the computer.
    after the reboot the computer came up fine, but explorer was very sluggish
    it took almost 15mins for me to get a responsive desktop
    after that i rebooted the box normally and it came up fine.

    What about SEP 10.2.2.2000?  That's our corporate version. I just upgraded a system from Vista Enterprise SP2 to Win7 Enterprise.  I got a message about NAV sending incompatible messages.
