I have a windows XP MCE. I have been thinking about taking the deal MS
is offering about getting an upgrade to vista and windows 7. Meaning that
vista and 7 ship together. Does anyone know how long that deal is going to
last?

Microsoft is offering no such deal, to my knowledge. Some computer
manufacturers are currently offering systems with Vista pre-installed,
along with a voucher for a free Upgrade to Win7. How long such offers
will continue is up to the individual computer manufacturers.
I should point out, however, that a system that sold with WinXP MCE may
not necessarily be a good candidate for upgrading to either Vista or
Win7, due to hardware requirements and compatibility issues. Both
Vista and WEin7 have much more stringent minimum hardware requirements
than did WinXP. Mind you, I'm not saying it can't be done, but you'll
want to compare your system's hardware specifications with Vista's and
Win7's minimum and recommended requirements before making the leap.
