Like secstate, I am using Ubuntu. I have to use XP on my laptop, because crappy Datacolor only works on XP. I am guessing they breathed a huge sigh of relief about the XP mode. I haven't asked if it has been tested yet. Heck, Datacolor doesn't have to update their program for another ten years. 
Anyway, this sounds good if one already has a computer with Vista. I was thinking of buying a Toshiba laptop a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't sure about the free upgrade thing or not. Honestly, if I do get a new laptop, then I will probably partition it with Ubuntu and only use Windows for Paintmaker.

Well it looks like Microsoft's finally ready to get rid of the mess that was Vista with the upcoming release of Windows 7.
You can help support the forum by pre-ordering through this link, and save 50% or more to boot (the Home Premium Edition upgrade is 58% off for only $49 - not bad!).

We thank you for your support!

Kal,
Couldn't I buy pretty much anything at Amazon by generating the appropriate link, and still get the forum some "forum support" benefit?
Like an electric fence kit for my backyard to electrify some pesky raccoons, and a shovel to bonk them on the head with while they're dazed?

Well, personally, I love Macs.
But seriously...
Windows 7 is definitely an improvement over Vista - it is what Vista should have been. Worth the upgrade from Vista to 7.

Is Windows 7 region locked some how? What if I sent someone over in the US some money to buy this for me and get them to ship to me in Australia? Just found out that its $199 for the Vista to Home Premium upgrade down under.

I ordered mine though the link Kal, but it didn't take me straight to the order page. Will the forum still get credit?

Yup. As long as you click on *ANY* Amazon link here that has the 'curtpalmecrtp-20' tag in the URL, anything (anything at all) you purchase at Amazon during that visit gives us credit. Thanks for helping out!

Kal,
It seems like the tag for the forum dissapears wehn you clik other links on Amazon... will it still work. If I want to order this
http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Edward-James-Olmos/dp/B001993Y2C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1246369115&sr=1-1
How do I adjust the link so that it credits the forum?

Yes, I think so - it's typically as simply as adding the following to the end of any Amazon URL:
&tag=curtpalmecrtp-20
