Because they weren't full of any malware and you could check the hashes against what people who had officially downloaded it posted to verify it's authenticity.

this might be a dumb question: can I duel boot this? or does it need to have a previous os to install over?

you can dual boot it, just install to a separate drive or partition

Hmm I'd like to have the task bar at the right side of my screen and the start button at the bottom - isn't that possible out of the box?

Nope, it isn't, but it should be.

What do you mean? My if I have an XP home key that Windows 7 will only allow Home Premium? This laptop I think was only made around the time of SP1 XP... its oldddd.

No, just make sure the key you have matches the version of XP that you download. Windows 7 doesn't give a poo poo which version of XP you have.

when you preorder, do you have to pay the full $50? Can I just put like $5 down and pay it off when it comes out?
