I want the 5D2 have the 7D AF installed too. Just not good or disappointed the canon user as it doesn't follow the D700 adding pro AF feature. Actually there is no wrong on the 5D2 AF design.

I have seen somewhere that the AF was not upgraded at the time because of the 1DIII problems, Canon did not want to run into more troubles.
I do really hope Canon propose in the near future a full frame high performance (incuding 7D-like AF) in a 7D-like body though.
If Canon continues on their product timeline such a camera should appear in 18 months. That would be 3 years after the 5DMK2 and 1 year after the 1DsMK4.
I created an AF servo checker screen saver (window only). Rock your cam back and forth then left and right to verify how good is your cam AF setting that reacts to your movement. Let's see how many in-focus frames your cam can get.
This is easy & fun to test your cam. Warning, it is a big file ~ 44Mbytes, please cut and paste the link to your browser. i have used "yousendit" so download is only good for 5days:
