No, you didn't scare me off. I planned on going to Windows 7 when I built my next computer which is still after the first of the year. I was considering an upgrade only because it would fix the problem I have now; however, it's an expensive solution to a very minor problem.
I didn't really want to reinstall everything either, another reason why I was considering an upgrade.
Edit:
Okay, so where would one get a trial of Windows 7?
