    Yes,, Win 7 uses more,,, but uses it differently and more efficiently.
    Please keep in mind that Win 7 is not XP. They are 2 completely different OS's and work differently under the hood.

I'm about to buy a new laptop from Costco with Win 7 Home Premium. On my old (now smashed) laptop I have a Win 7 Ultimate install. Can I just use the Ultimate serial key to do the Anytime Upgrade on the new machine? I keep reading that I need to buy an "upgrade key." Thanks
