SHHHHHH!    Don't give them any ideas!     That would be just another
extra cost option required to run their latest and greatest.   So far,
*none* of my Windoze friends have successfully installed Vista without
hardware upgrades.   All had been running XP with no problems but were
convinced they 'needed' Vista.   One had a 4 month old computer and it
failed to upgrade.    Linux rules!      What I love about Linux:   It
runs VMWare that can pretend to be a computer running Vista :)   ...and
does it while doing real work in the background to boot! :)
