Is this a good deal?

I thought I might upgrade from vista. My computer is a acer aspire vista oem.

Any hints or suggestions welcome. Tim

 

Can you trust the site? Can you trust the opened product hasn't been installed and activated on someone else's pc? Personally, I'd spend the extra $$ for an un-opened product (that's just me), but having said that, maybe it's perfectly ok, in which case it is a good deal. Trouble is, how can you know until you get it?

If you purchase from a credible retailer an un-opened, genuine product that you can actually get your hands on before the purchase is made, then you that's the best confirmation possible. There's MS Store as well:

You can probably find a better deal at an electronics retailer, though.

 

Windows 8 is expected in perhaps 6-9 months time.
Why upgrade to 7 from Vista now? With SP2, Vista isn't that different in performance imo.

 

Thanks. I didn't realize that. Probably will be better to wait.
