Look around for a discount code, I found a few for 28% but they've expired.

This one is for 25% TNWNF, which brings it down to 261$. Thats still a hell of a deal considering what you're getting.

Actually when I updated it was from Vista to Windows 7. My wife's upgrade was from XP to Windows 7. But my wife had been using Windows 7 here at the office so she was happy to have it on her home computer, too. Other than that, she probably could use either XP or Windows 7 and be quite happy. Me? I always love the latest and greatest. LOL! But thankfully in this case the newest is the best Microsoft operating system. At least I think so.

i had vista x64 before my current windows 7 ultimate

feels and acts identical

Yeah, you're right, the two are very similar, feel wise. A few differences, but overall similar enough where the user won't have to learn how to get around within Windows 7.

Yep - xp to win7 x64, a few driver bugs that are system dependant but overall less issues than xp.
