    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. The reason i wanted to send for the upgrade was that
    my desktop runs xp so thought it would be nice to have both.

    I wasnt going to install the vista straight away, but thought it would be nice to hang on to the disc for the future.

    I understand the Vista has more security features, other than that i havent a clue! LOL...
    Cheers
    Lorraine
