| We purchased new delivery tracking software at the company I work for, which is something else I have to administer, but the layout of the software is totally stolen from Office 2007 haha. It basically looks the exact same with the window colour, and the ribbon at the top displaying fast path buttons to everything you need. Works so awesome haha. |

There are a few less versions, but otherwise, it is basically the same issues. But a couple versions are exclusive, and not purchasable by end-users. |

I am sure that won't matter if you follow the same procedure that people used for Vista full upgrades. You just install without a key and then run the install again over the top with your good key. Problem solved. Pain in the ass I know, but for 50% off, I would do it. Although I will just hit up my buddy with M$ hookups. |

well since i have OEM vista home on my PC, if i ever need to restore, doing a vista upgrade is ideal so all the factory stuff is installed |

Go to the W7 launch event. They always give them there.

What do you need? Win7 has basically everything you do need with the exception of a select few things. |

Try running it and getting all the drivers via Windows Update? That is what I did, and it got all of the drivers except my T.V. tuner card.
Also, if you can wait 1-2 months after OEM release, there will be a 20-in-1 Win7 Ultimate dvd on the torrents. No activation necessary and it is "legit" because it uses the OEM stuffs. |

hmm ok...
the only thing not working with win7 for me is my s-video output...when connected, the driver keeps crashing...did win update and also tried rolling back to the original one, same results... |
