There has to be a way. I'm not paying for a new key every time I want a fresh install of Windows 7.

there will problem be some sort of 'system backup' or 'complete system restore' - hopefully, but still, I WANT FULL FRESH RE-INSTALL!!

I highly doubt that is true, it probably works that 2 keys can't be active at once - IE different computers.

Damn youuu for getting your emails, mind you we've got MSDNAA but the blokes taking ages to register us up to it, so I wont be on for a good while yet, at least the weekend to get through. Rawrr!!!! :( It's mean.

I wish my Vista would stop bluescreening, I mean my computer should be pretty damn stable but meh. It's being an arse, PROBABLY because of Vista. Cuz thats an arse. Really.

All the machines running Vista in this house are running perfectly :P I blame the squishy meat bag infront of it to be honest :P

I think I'll go with Pro. A clean install isn't much of a problem. Most of the important things are small and alot of my stuff is already on an external HDD :/ Only problem is reinstalling Photoshop CS3, but finding the installer for that would be fun... :rolleyes:

Oiii cheeky sod >: L Yeah its probably my Mobo or something, being an arse. Oh well. I want Pro, because I get it for free. Woop yeah. Idk how I'm gonna download it though, on these networks itll go slow as ****.

Might be. It's interesting how computers with the same specs may churn out different outcomes - like one computer has the same spec as the other, just different manufacturers. It's very odd. Hopefully Windows 7 will solve this diverse range of issues. Speaking of which, would this effect The Sims 3?

Most computer problems lie between keyboard and chair tbh.

I don;t know how the reinstallation/reformat thing will work as it's an upgrade disc anyway.

Any computer running Vista that is upgraded to 7 will run faster/better. Shouldn't effect things like The Sims 3.

But can I take that risk? :(

Judging by the wording by Microsoft, you get a full installation with Pro orders. Oh and yeah, Vista isn't that bad :P
