You might want to read through this article first. It appears that they are having some problems.

"An answer has yet to be found for all users, who began reporting the problem last Friday after watching the upgrade stall two-thirds of the way through the process. Most users said that their PCs had displayed an error that claimed the upgrade had been unsuccessful and that Vista would be restored. Instead, their PCs again booted to the Windows 7 setup process, failed, then restarted the vicious cycle."

You can't even gat back to your crappy version of Vista. I am starting not to believe the bald guy with glasses on those commercials. I was routing for the underdog for awhile but I think maybe he's not being 100% upfront. Here is the full story with lots of links and reading for your entertainment purposes. I love the line on page 2 which states that this isn't on the list of top concerns for MS. Classic. How do I get my XP back?

If you do decide to install it, make sure you back up your system and anything you think that is important. My old harddrive is now sitting on a table with me trying to think about how I can get my information off of it. I installed IE8 last week and it's odd how I was hit with an onslaught of sypware, trojans and virus'. My surfing habits never changed yet soon after the install my computer started freezing, crashing and oddly enough all of my search results from Google were being hijacked. I even recieved a nice letter from my ISP how they think my computer was being used a Zombie to sent millions of spam emails out over the last few days.

Thanks Microsoft! You are a class act, as I type from a laptop I had to go out and buy yesterday. I didn't need my old 100% functioning computer anyways.

ie sucks
