    Okay, going to re-write what I said

    1. Office 07 is a download (Office Ultimate 2007) and doesn't take too long to install/download. It can be installed on 32-bit or 64-bit.
    2. Windows 7 - You pick what version you want via that offer.
    3. Installing Windows 7 - You download it, and follow the instruction given to you (through an email I think?) and you don't need to burn it to a CD. The upgrade works on the same principal.
    4. You can ask for a CD and for Digital River/Microsoft to keep a copy of the files back-up to download later, though you can do that yourself by putting the files on a CD, external hard-drive or USB device to use at a later date. It also costs about £4 or £6 to ask for a CD and/or digital back up.

    I plan on putting it on a new computer, so it won't be able to upgrade as theres no previous operating system on it.

    And yeh i noticed its £9 for the disk and i can tick the keep it online.

    Am i able to put this on a new machine with no prior OS as it states 'upgrade' so makes me think can only upgrade from say vista/xp to it?

    I believe there is ways around it but Microsoft class this as "illegal" not sure if you can still do this though.

    I did a clean install, it can't tell if its clean or not when it gets to the point you put the serial number in.
