I signed up for Win 7 in July. They said they wouldn't bill my card until then. Long story short, I got it and up in the corner in the little blue triangle, it said "for upgrade from Vista". When I purchased my current computer I paid EXTRA just to have XP Professional instead of Vista. I called and was told the only way to go from XP to Win 7 is to purchase the full package. There has been some discussion about a possible work-around, but I am shipping Win 7 back. It seems to me that Vista user should get the Win 7 upgrade for free.
