    I wonder if they will start doing this for the express upgrades from companies or not. Interesting thing to see.

    Dunno about Microsoft officially, but I know there are one or 2 UK webstores that allowed you to download the student XP upgrade for your pre-XP system (or XP Pro upgrade if you had XP Home) when I was looking into it last year

    Even if they're doing this to help with the attachment rate I suspect eventually sales of new desktop/laptop pre-loaded with Vista will line their pockets sufficiently
