    You're welcome Karthik. Me too had the impression that SP runs only on Server OSs like SP 2007. But SP 2010 team made a boon by opening it for Win 7. You need to follow the steps of extracting the setup, changing one file and execute - as shown in the article. Good Luck Ahead!

    One more thing to add: The next problem often we face with SP Installation is RAM size ending up with slow machines. To an extent this can be solved using ReadyBoost technology of Windows 7. (using USB Drives for storage - USB drives are much faster than Hard Disks) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Turn-ReadyBoost-on-or-off-for-a-storage-device

    Thank You Amit for the good words and you realized the effort of SP installation. It took over 1 week from my side to accomplish this installation. Thanks to Microsoft to make SharePoint run on Windows 7 otherwise we need to create another Win2008 server OS / Virtual machines.
