I would consider running Windows 7 on a Virtual PC. You would receive a performance
hit because you would be running two operating systems at once, but I doubt much
less than running on external drives.
eSATA is of course the same speed as internal but I have found that messing around
with partitions after Vista/7 are installed can stop the PC from booting. Taking
an eSATA drive away from a system might be risky.
At least with VM you can get a feel for Windows 7, see if you like the interface
and then upgrade later.
