This upgrade edition of the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional operating system can be installed directly over Windows Vista, or as a clean install with either Windows Vista or XP. The clean install will require you to back up your files, and reinstall your applications. The upgrade is not compatible with Windows 2000. Microsoft's Windows 7 Professional provides a variety of  features which may be invaluable to either the home or office user. In Windows XP Mode, for instance, you can run older Windows XP business and productivity programs directly from your Windows 7 desktop! Other invaluable benefits of Windows 7 Professional include a Domain Join function, which allows you to connect easily to company networks, plus, as an extension to the full-system Backup and Restore feature, you can backup your valuable data to a home or business network. With exciting new navigational tools such as Aero Shake, Jump Lists and Snap, you'll soon be using Windows 7 Professional more intuitively than you ever thought possible! You can also customise your desktop like never before, with a vast selection of new backgrounds and wallpapers, as well as a new slide show feature. Windows 7 Professional can be installed in either 32-bit or 64-bit configurations, depending in part on your existing hardware. The 64-bit version can potentially address more RAM, and thus is ideal for a modern graphics-orientated system. An all-new Windows Media Centre is also integral to Windows 7 Professional , which includes a revamped user interface to make watching television, movies, and other video content easier than ever before! Used in conjunction with a TV tuner, you'll be able to watch and record shows, and schedule your viewing with the built-in TV guide. Quickly browse TV listings and recorded programs with an attractive, easy-to-use interface. With all of this on offer, plus a raft of other attractive features, Microsoft Windows 7 Professional is the long-awaited operating system that makes computing instinctive and fun again! Minimize
