Right now Windows 7 is free PERIOD. No one can charge for it as M$ is giving it free to download or on Disc with free Product keys. Once Windows 7 Official is released in august i believe all the free products will have to reinstall windows again. So i say Stay away from windows 7 unless your using dual boot or vitural machine to testing. Other wise stick with Vista or XP till the official Disc is released.

IMHO as a computer tech Windows 7 isnt any better or DIFFERENT from Vista. Its the same layout, but its less hardware intense for the older XP users left behind will be able to run it with simple RAM upgrades. Thats just my .02
