Yep got my copies, one for me and the wife. I ordered mine from the Microsoft Store so I could download it when it was available.

You can install it on any pc, but i think you will still need your xp disc or activation key as it will be asked for during the installation.

I see, thank you for answering penguin17 , i do have the Microsoft XP Pro CD.

Erm ...is this upgrade offer just for the US as i cant find it @ Microsoft for the UK ?

Oh so after the 15th July it will cost me $199.99 = £122.44 just to upgrade

Thanks for the link Webadict :)

Oh hell i just noticed at the bottom of the page - $299.99 = £185.54 if i want to keep XP Pro (thats my Sat-Nav out the window !)

Anyone in the US want a lodger :)
