not sure on what?

i have vista on my box at home, and i am pretty sure i wanna get windows 7.

i am saying that yours is the best price (that i have found in 10 mins of looking) if i want to do this.

if however i was going to get a new box, then i would get the oem version.

might even talk to the mrs tonight about upgrading

Don't go ultimate. Waste of money really.

I'm using and buying Professional.

Best to get a permission slip signed before doing anything major like upgrading to Vista or going to the bathroom.

Sunday I ventured into the world of Windows 7 Ultimate.

My Laptop is a widescreen model running Vista.

The upgrade was done without a hic-cup, the graphics on the widescreen is fantastic, and overall I'm impressed with it generally, just a couple of minor things that I miss from Vista, like the Recent Doc's but I'll get over it.

As a comparision I have owned every version of Windows from Win95 beta to now Win 7, IMHO the biggest dog was Win Me closely followed by XP.

If your undecided wether to upgrade, then I suggest Just Do It

XP?

Wow. Until Windows 7 (hopefully), no MS OS has stood up as well as XP Gundog.

It's almost 9 years old now, for an Os to last that long and still be so useful is amazing.
The amount of issues that Vista had would easily put it below XP in order of quality MS Operating Systems.

Btw Recent Docs are there - just not in the same place.
