i get fingerprints on my laptop all the time. I think that touch screens are going to start dropping in price. But touch screens aren't worth it unless you have a multi touch capacitive screen.

I'm curious to see what a mac tablet may look like. We'll probably see one Sept 9th.

I just was told by Windows 7 that I can't upgrade after I attempted to. Vista Business to Windows 7 Pro. Thanks for telling me NOW, after its been purchased, Microsoft.

Its not like I've given up, but still.

you can't do a direct upgrade, but you can do the backup/wipe/reinstall thing

annoying, but effective and they walk you through it

Yeah, do a custom install, rather than an upgrade. Stick the disk in, and when choosing the option choose custom. It will compress your old OS in a windows.old folder, and do a clean install. Its how you upgrade from XP.

I just bought my 4th license tonight (Home Premium). It'll be going on the Netbook probably.

I still have one more to buy. Ultimate for one more system. We'll see how that goes.

I got it the 2nd time around. Thought I could install 64 bit version, but it appears I have the 32 bit only. I can work with it.

It would be a shame if you died because you didn't have a certain operating system...
