    My sister got a new Dell laptop.

    She doesnt want and doesnt need the vista upgrade (her college only allows XP Pro at the moment).

    So I was wondering if she doesnt take the upgrade can I?

    I cant find anything on the dell site about it.

    I'd say it is probably OEM and can only be used on her laptop.

    Yeah it is tied to Dell only systems through the serial key and checking the bios of the system.

    Given time someone might engineer a hack around that but you can get the full Vista Premium OEM version for a reasonable price so it is probably not worth the wait.
