I ran the upgrade advisor and it said it could run the basic vista and the premium vista, but the express upgrade may cost me cause it came with WIN XP home edition, do you think i should enroll in the program or wait and get a free copy of the net hohoho

Personally, I wouldn't touch vista for another year AT LEAST. Wait til the first service pack comes out.....you don't want to waste your time installing a whole new OS just to have a million bugs and glitches on it.....It's happened with every other OS microsoft has put out.....If i were you i'd wait.

I didn't bother with Vista, there's going to be quite a few bugs over the next year with it anyway... I'll wait and get a clean copy.

Just wait to get the free one. You may end up taking it off anyway. I have had bad experience with different versions of windows at the time of upgrade. It will never work as it should and it will never work as it once did, its the bad part.

you can apply for free upgrade yes and they will ship you out ur free upgrade cd im getting one lol but dont install vista over windows xp install it on a usb back up hard drive you can buy a 250gb hard drive from walmart for $100 install vista onto that . why .this is why
here is more news for ya when windows visa comes out what microsoft and pc company never told us is . that if ya install vista over windows xp all your software is clean out and all ur hard ware drivers as well anyone who has a pc with a system recovery cd from pc
manufacturer when windows vista is install on to there hard drive all there manufacturer software is gone and da drivers and they cant use there manufacturer recovery cd again. so if ur going to buy up vista it is best to buy a usb back up hard drive as well
