Windows 7 This Year?

So if I want to stick Windows 7 on my laptop what is the best build to get at the moment? From what I understand it is pretty much fully stable enough to overright my Vista install? (Bearing in mind I also have a desktop running Vista).
 
everything works fine on vista 64,i have no need for windows 7 at the moment ;)

if its not broke,then i do not need to fix it
 
I'm going to be building a core i7 920 based PC in the next month or two and am wondering what to do about the OS. I can get Vista Ultimate for £40 (or rather my wife can cos she's doing a course with the OU) so I could go down that route (although I'm unsure as to whether to go for the 64 bit version). I understand there are no beta keys available for Windows 7 anymore so if I obtained the Windows 7 Beta and used that for my OS on the new PC how would I get around the fact I don't have a beta key? I will be looking to move to Windows 7 eventually so what's the best option for me at the moment? Shall I just get the £40 Vista Ultimate (64 bit version?) and upgrade to Windows 7 later?

Cheers
Andy
