Hey guys. I am getting Windows 7 when it comes out and I wanted to know how to sync my iPhone and music and apps without having to restore. I am going to be importing all of my music over to 7. But I just wanted to know if I could just have it so that I dont have to restore or anything.

Just copy your iTunes library directory over to an external hard drive, or some other storage media.
The Windows XP path to your iTunes library is:
C:\Documents and Settings\ACCOUNTNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Once you have Windows 7 up & running and iTunes installed...
Before running iTunes for the first time, copy your saved library into your new iTunes library directory. I believe in Windows 7 it's in C:\Users\ACCOUNTNAME\Music (or maybe it's called My Music, I can't remember for sure).
I'm at work, so I don't have my Windows 7 machine handy. So, I don't know the exact path. You should be able to figure that part out. But, I regulary sync my phone and my entire iTunes library between a Windows XP (work) and Windows 7 (home) machine using MS SyncToy and I have no issues whatsoever.
