    The retail Upgrade license lasts as long as the OS does, to be reinstalled as often as you wish wherever you want , since you have a retail XP copy that qualifies for it - correct?

    FWIW, the Win7 Ultimate installation is counterfeit - it's an Acer OEM_SLP Key on a Gigabyte motherboard with a Gigabyte SLIC table - and the motherboard was manufactured 3 years before Windows 7 was launched.
    This can only 'work' if the installation is enabled by a hacker's Activation Exploit.
    Noel anything you post is worth a lot.

    Mmm, is that, a touch of pessimism.


    Already I am missing the "taskbar always on top" option in xp. :)

    Thank you guys for your help and encouragement. Off now to the windows 8 forum to see if there is a another way to keep the bar on top.

    If you want the Windows 7 desktop environment, then the link gregrocker posted earlier about adding the Windows 7 start menu to Windows 8 is a good way to go. I use it myself and it has worked very well. You also have the option to switch between the Windows 7 desktop and the Windows 8 start screen, simply by logging on and off without the need for a reboot.

    Yes but it's now been traded up for a 8 pro licence.
