I bought my current Laptop a year ago and my previous one two years 
before that. That one came with Vista and a Win 7 upgrade disc.
I change my laptops, about every two years for one reason or another. 
But then I don't have a desktop and use them a lot. I also travel a lot 
so I want a Pov-worthy one.
On my last contract the consultancy firm (CSC) were rolling Win 7 out to 
all their laptops from either Windows Server 2008 or Vista. The client 
were going from Vista to Win 7.
