    Haha. It's a good deal indeed but what exactly is the point of buying Vista if you're going to upgrade to Windows 7? I can understand the point of it if you're using XP. To bad this offer is only available in UK.

    You can sell the Vista on ebay , and keep the Win 7 , if you only sell Vista for £15 then Win 7 has only cost you £45
