Sounds to me like a ms swindle. Now to upgrade to Windows 7 I've got first
to upgrade to Vista then upgrade Vista to 7.

Might be a better idea to wait for Cloud to appear and switch over to that
OS. Or maybe Safari. MS is not the only guy in the neighborhood anymore.

I wonder if MS will want to think about that idea and come out with an
upgrade from XP to 7.

You have absolutely no clue what your talking about, typical of the
uninformed average computer user.

Windows 7 can't do an in-place upgrade over Windows XP. True.

Cloud? Good luck upgrading Windows XP with a cloud, or a Safari, I heard it
doesn't have any drivers yet or a boot loader so again good luck with that.
Perhaps your referring to Linux. Well go ahead, but again you can't do an
upgrade install. :-)

You can however upgrade to Windows 7 by doing a clean/custom install of it.
