Yeah I didn't think any of the Pro features would be of any use to me - I'm currently running XP with no issues (I didn't even bother thinking about Vista. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Tool thing which checks your PC and sees if it will run Windows 7 and it will though I will need to upgrade my drivers for the Ethernet controller apparently. Also, it says I may have problems with Norton :s Hope not! I think as part of Norton it can do a system backup thing anyway but any important files I need I'll just burn on a CD - it's not a problem to reinstall a few programs! So, do you think it's definately safe to go away and pre-order this just now? Um...ditch Norton  But yeah, I think it's ok to go tbh. If you can dual boot (ie. get a 2nd hard drive and install to that) you can have XP to fall back onto should things not work out ok. Win 7 will need a clean reinstall - no upgrade option. HD's are pretty cheap now. But, really, I think Win 7 should be ok. The offer is great. I'd buy into it, and if you are really worried about, let everyone else install it and see what problems happen. At least you'd have Win 7 sitting there ready to install at your lesuire for a cheap price. Oh, and install the 64-bit version if you can. |

k pre-ordered and should arrive within a week of the release date - looks good and sounds good. I've ordered the Home Premium Edition just now off PC World for £45
 You said that would have the 64bit edition in it eh? Just so I know :s It was the only that and the pro version they had anyway and it didn't mention anything about a separate 32 and 64 bit version so I think I've ordered the right one lol |

Both versions should contain both the 32-bit and 64-bit install discs
