If your thinking about up grading from Windows XP to Windows 7, now would be a good time.

Yikes! I'm glad I bought a retail copy of Windows 7.

For those that don't know, and OEM version of Windows 7 is cheaper, but it can only be used on the first motherboard it is installed on. So, if you upgrade your computer, you need to buy a new OS - and Windows 7 won't be an option anymore.

A Full Retail version of Windows 7 can be used by you on any system (one at a time) until the end of time. And, that's pretty much what I plan to do unless Windows 9 removes the touch screen crap.

All the best,

Mike
