It's available at our school this coming week at a price of next to nothing. It's Windows 7 Ultimate and it's available in 32 or 64 bit (I'll be getting 64, obviously).

I'm using Vista Business 64 bit right now and like it.

So, should I upgrade?

Thanks!

Depends. Do you like the new GUI, will you be using SLI, are you going to have a nvidia and ati video card installed at the same time, upgrading to a SSD anytime soon, etc ?

I like it, but I got 2 copies for $20 so :) price aside it's easily better than vista. Haven't had a single issue with either RTM install yet and my laptop hated vista ultimate and for some stupid reason Toshiba wouldn't support 64bit vista :(

Question: as of now, all they have is the upgrade version. Is this the same or worse? I really hope they get the stand alone version in...
