50 bucks for home premium, any thoughts?
I am running Windows XP, can I upgrade to Windows 7? Microsoft designed Windows 7 Upgrade media for Windows Vista. A customer with Windows XP can purchase Windows 7 Upgrade media but must back up their files, clean install, and then reinstall their applications. so according to this, it's a full install disc. also, full 64 bit support http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6832116713 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/off...r-faq.aspx http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...quirements LOL at a 16 gig OS, that would leave me with 12 gigs free looks like anything i would get would be for when i do a new build, still it's a good deal though.

Upgrade or full?
Never get an upgrade as it invalidates your old Key, and given how Vista fared, You probably want to keep that key.... ![[Image: caffsighl7.jpg]](http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/5918/caffsighl7.jpg) Â![[Image: 1184299259221.gif]](http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x284/CaffeinePower/1184299259221.gif) Sig by Joel |

The discount is for pre-order only. And I'm pretty sure it's for pre-order of the upgrade only.

I don't plan on upgrading until it shows up in the M$ employee store (aka when friends can hook me up for cheap)

The RC is hardly "buggy" and they aren't adding any more features too it at this point. Just bug fixes. So the only thing we will see if less bugs from the very stable Windows 7 RC we can all have.

If you are building a new system, get the full, non-upgrade version. Feeling generous? Karf is a respectable human being. http://i.imgur.com/MTVw5.png Thank you, Mr. Pelican.
