They say there not doing OEM version but you no what Ms are like

. that Retail Box Your looking at though has both 32/64bit versions and it is a full install not an upgrade

, and recent changed you now get an option to install Browser ..
If your looking to Buy or thinking should i or should i not , imop Buy it as it will be £150 soon enough.. also you no, i have not seen any confirmation on dx11 being an update on Vista for a long while, even though Win7 is tweaked vista Ms playing the game again

Was a bargain though when it was £49.99 so I thought it would be rude not to buy it

Only back up what you need. The junk- leave it as it will get deleted when you format the hard drive

I would suggest getting an external HDD or large USB flash drive for your backup - much easier & more reliable than multiple CD/DVD's. The external HDD can also be used for regular backups of all important data, which should be done to prevent loss of all your photos etc should the HDD in the PC fail (which they often do).

Mark.

Seams like the external hard disc drive will be the best option.

Gutted ! I went to pre-order a copy from JohnLewis today at £75 but I was told MS have ordered them to stop the promotion. I checked the website literally yesterday and it was still available, today however its gone

EDIT: Just seen the Tesco Deal.
