        Yeah, but it's an OEM. You cannot do a "upgrade in place"; i.e., it would wipe out the disk and you would have to reinstall everything and restore your data from a back-up. According to this page: macrosoft.com you'll need to run the upgrade from within W...

        It would be useful if you had a few consecutive days off in January so I can deal with upgrading your computer. Otherwise, we might just have to hope that there are no systemic attacks against Windows 7.
