There aren't many compatibility issues. In fact the only one I can really think of is with firewalls. There isn't a wide selection of working firewalls with Windows 7 yet, not much a problem though since the Windows Firewall has improved greatly.
When you're installing Windows 7 it gives you two options:
1. Custom Install (Wipes your disc)
2. Upgrade (leaves files and programs in tact)
Microsoft kept it pretty simple this time. It only took me 20 minutes from when I ran the setup to when I was using Windows 7.
How's you get the retail version of Ultimate? Also do you need better specs to run it? My anti-virus probably won't work on it, actually I hope it won't so I can give reason to my parents to freaking let me switch.
