I can't, I only purchased the 64bit OEM version.

Installing RTM version of Win 7 right now. I've used the final RC for awhile and been totally satisfied with that. Bear in mind though - heresy in this forum at least - that I liked Vista too once it was tweaked and will continue to use it on this machine I'm using to type this for the forseeable future.

Got a question, now I have XP, so I can just buy the upgrade right, I mean I don't need to have Vista to buy the upgrade right?

You can upgrade XP to 7 but it will be a clean install.

Damn, I'll really have to think about it then.

Personally, I would rather save the $100 and purchase the upgrade version, then use that to do a clean installation (i'm sure it will prompt for the XP disk at some point)...

I didn't have anything to upgrade from since I built this system using Windows 7 RC 7100 64 bit so I can't use an upgrade.  I bought the OEM version instead of the full retail or upgrade version.  I'm not certain when I'll install it since RC is good till the spring at least.
