What I plan on doing is getting my daughters XP computer up to Windows 7 and my Vista Computer up to 7 as well. I'm looking for the deal were you have say 3 licenses on the OS disk so I only have to by one 7 OS disk. If not, I will stay with Vista on my computer. Really, I have no issue with Vista at all. I will then just move my kids computer up to 7.

I'm looking into the Open Licenses agreement where I work and the savings isn't much. It might be better if the numbers where higher.

I'd just get 2 1-user disks. Saves 175,- bucks (120,-E for single user Win7 Professional, 360,- for triple-user here).

To be honest I have not looked into cost yet. So we will see. I just might keep the XP machine and get my girls a new machine with 7. I will leave my Vista machine be for a while. Really, it runs great and I see no reason to rush out for a new OS.

Win7 isn't that far from Vista, really. I doubt anyone would regret an upgrade from XP to Win7, but going from Vista to Win7 doesn't seem "necessary". From what I hear, they did a proper job getting Vista into shape, and support will be continuing for a while.

I have less trouble with Vista these days than XP. Oh well. One day I just know I will be bored and go get 7 to fill some bored time

Hammer a lemonade stand together and have the girls sell refreshing drinks untill the profit amounts to a copy of Win7. Keeps them busy and you get a new toy to fight boredom.

Might have to wait till next summer to pull that of though.
