I won't upgrade before December, if then. my laptop is Vista and should run it. My desktop was XP. I don't know if it will even turn on. I haven't used it since early 2008, mostly because i moved and had to leave it behind, then I moved to China and didn't want to have it sent for cost and weight reasons.
I escape PRC on Dec. 17th, so I won't buy it til then. I don't want bootleg/chinese only version of Windows, which is all you can get in PRC.
