Where is the best deal to get this? I am over Vista on my laptop.

Buy a Mac.
Don't upgrade just reformat and do a fresh install.
Save any pictures, music, files to a flashdrive(s) or disc(s) if you want to keep that kind of stuff.

Buy an oem copy of Windows 7 from Amazon or Newegg, pickup a copy of PC Mover, (laplink.com/pcmover) and follow the instructions. It will migrate all settings/relevant files/programs etc. to Windows 7
By far the easiest and most complete migration I've ever seen.

**** that.
Like I said, I am tired of Vista.
Just trying to see if anyone knows of a good cheap place to get it.

Newegg usually has reasonable prices.
If the system you are upgrading is older (like over a year old) then I recommend a clean install and prevent migrating crap you don't want. I did a clean install on my wife's computer because hers was about 3 years old. A bit more time consuming but nothing all that difficult if you establish a plan ahead of time. On my Dell computer I did a regular update since it was less than a year old. Both are working great. I love Windows 7.
And as mentioned above, buy an OEM version and save some money.

What is the difference between an OEM version and a 'regular' :shrug: verson?
+1 I'd only due a migration if you have a pretty up to date hardware. Otherwise I'd store all the important info on a external HD or any other storage device and just bring it over on a fresh install of 7.
I love win7 too, its light years better than vista
