Well, after what seemed like ages to back up my XPSP3 partition, I finally got round to Installing Win7.
I installed this version:
http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/502...73.TPB.torrent
(64bit version:
http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/502...75.TPB.torrent)
You can check the hashes of the ISO's against this if you want:

And used this to activate it:
7lo*der Second edition By Hazar + Orbit30! - My Digital Life Forums
Installed without using a product key, and ran the loader as administrator. Clicked on my manufacturer (IBM) to install OEM info into Win7 (This is optional and purely aesthetic, and not a requirement for the loader), the clicked on install 7loader. Wait a bit, then reboot. Sorted!
As simple as that. The leaked key this loader (and all others) is likely to be blacklisted at some point, but by then other keys will be leaked, and it should be easy to change the key the loader uses.
Win7 installed almost all my drivers, and the ones that were missing were easy enough to get running.
On an IBM Thinkpad T41, with 2gb ram, 120gb hdd and 1.6ghz Win7 runs fine. Better and faster than XPSP3 did, but so far not installed much else, so we'll see if that carries on.
