Win 7 work on Virtual Box?

Anyone get this to work? Tried it last night and it didn't seem to work. Do any of the VM's work with Win 7?
 
Is there a way to do this with a Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit machine? I would rather do this than repartition, etc...

Also does it matter if you use the 32 or 64 bit version in the virtual box?
 
You could also install Win7 to a VHD file on your existing filesystem. This way you can dual-boot without having to repartition.

How do you do that?
 
Just an update, got Win 7 32 bit to load on vbox and as of yesterday it appears the guest additions also work on Win 7
 
Don't like VirtualPC personally, wanted to stay with Virtual Box and the update they provided greatly increased the Win 7 support so I'm happy to see that.
 
Make sure to create a new virtual machine before you try to install Windows 7 beta.. If you try to install the current beta over any other virtual machine (including a previous Windows 7 build), it will not work.
