Many bloggers are posting their SharePoint 2010 Beta installation experiences, and I have collected all the posts that I could find for my reference as I setup my SharePoint 2010 development rig:
If you are still deciding between Windows Server or Windows 7, then make sure you read OS Environment Comparison for SharePoint Server 2010 Beta Evaluation. Also don’t forget to read the Installation notice for the SharePoint Server Public Beta on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft Windows 7 from the MS SharePoint Team Blog and SharePoint 2010 Beta Release Known Issues.
I’ll also point out all the Microsoft links as well:
Please comment below if you have know of another Installation walkthrough that I might have missed.
You also missed the @SPAdmWiki collaborative one: http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/display/spadmin2010/2009/11/21/How+to+install+SharePoint+2010+Public+Beta+on+Windows+Server+2008+R2

Nice collection, Kanwal. Thanks for including me. Note Jeremy's suggestion for colloborating on an install document. I added a loopback check option today to the SPAdminWiki site and it was very easy to do. -Tom
