I have never worried about Windows OS installations since I have never
owned a separate Windows copy. I have always bought my laptops with
the Windows already installed and IMO that saves me a lot of hassle.
When the Windows OS starts getting out of date, usually the computer
is also. I recently gave away my 6 year old 17" HP laptop (XP) and I
am planning to replace it this fall at which time I should be getting
my W7 fix... ;)
