A few years ago I looked for a copy of Win 7 and was left with the
impression that there were very few copies of stand alone Win 7
available and those that were fetched a premium price. I mostly found
copies that were labelled to be installed on a specific manufacturer's
computers - e.g. "Win 7 for Dell" or "for Compaq" - and assumed that
they would not work on another brand.
I realized this morning that despite installing ~150 updates my fresh
Vista install has not applied either service pack, so I am in the
process of manually installing them. Maybe that will get things
straighten out.

Interesting - I did not know that you could still buy and register
Windows 7. I have it on my desktop and it is vastly superior to Vista,
IMO. I might go that way.
Check on eBay, too. There are still valid unused installation discs
for Win 7 that come up from time to time. I bought one last year when
I purchased a refurbed laptop. It installed (and validated as legit
with Microsoft) fine.
