just check out software for students...that where i get mine from.
Win7 Upgrade, install over itself - job done - legal/EULA(?) Not sure
Also MSDN AA has 4 copies of Windows 7 available. 32 and 64 bit, with and without SP1. The 32bit key will activate a 64bit install, so you really have 4 free Windows 7 Professional 64bit licenses.
If your sitting with XP now, it is a waste of time upgrading to Win 7, when Win 8 is comping out next year. Might as well keep your money rather than throwing it away.
Have you tried W8? Horrid, horrid interface.

I've not been keeping up with this too much, but I was under the impression that Metro was optional and mainly for tablets rather than desktops?
