is this a full install or does it require a legit version of xp/vista to upgrade?

and it does say office 2007 initially, but keep going and then once you get to the " store menu " add the windows 7 pro to your checkout cart.

it comes out with two options, one with electronic download and one with disk kit which charges an extra $13.

Once you've got this please update to verify validity of this!

When they do come, the time value of money states that said difference will be worth less then than now. Hence, I get a discount either way.

Score!

I want to buy this but i'm afraid it's a little sketchy, should I not be worrying lol it's just i've never heard of this digital river site, i'd be so much more confident if it was off the microsoft website itself.

This is legit right..?

And it says upgrade, which makes me want to say that you'll need a legit xp/vista to upgrade from.

However, my XP is cracked but it's been authenticated by all the windows tools already to be genuine.. and without a CD you can't really sell this to someone in case it messes up.

It's legit. It's the digital distributor for microsoft. And you guys can actually get 2 copies, just buy one 32-bit, and one 64-bit, the cd-keys should work for both.

we're determining that right now once getalove/rs windows 7 guinea pig gets it installed.

chances are you'll need a copy of xp/vista since it's an "upgrade"

You can be the guinea pig for that. Buy both, swap CD-keys, report back in the morning.
