Need new desktop-Which operating system?

[tec1010]

I need a new desktop asap. I am now faced with two options: Vista with downgrade to XP OR Vista with upgrade to Windows 7. Computer will be used for basic home use. Any information/advice is greatly appreciated!

Vista with free upgrade to win 7. Try that both OS are x64

Vista with upgrade to Windows 7
most deff the way to go

My vote goes for Vista x64 with upgrade to Win 7 x64 as well.

why pay the extra for the free upgrade?
Wait for windows 7 to come out and get it for less

Here, in tom's hardware are list the possible price to win 7. So if you can pay $100 for a vista with upgrade to win 7, and the more cheap of the win 7 is on $75, isn't a good deal buy 2 OS for $100?

or if your a college student u can get Windows 7 for 30 bucks
