More than it worth. Upgrades start at about $90 and then up to around $200 for some of the better Full Installs. Actually get more expensive from there.
I just stick with my Windows2000 Pro for now.

Some lower grade Vistas have already been cut to only 5 years of support. 10 is the normal.

Don't bother. Just type "vista problems" in the Search for answers box above.
While you're waiting for MS to fix the Vista problems. Get UBUNTU (or XUBUNTU if your computer has less than 256MB of RAM).
It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.
You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".
It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.
Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.
Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.
