If vista is running OK for you and you're happy with it, no reason to
upgrade at all.

You have my sincere sympathies.

No, you should nuke Vista and install Ubuntu. Get it free at
http://www.ubuntu.com/

You're most welcome.

The upgrade is free so would the next upgrade be free from vista vs 2007?

Only if you have or are about to buy a new computer with Vista
installed.....

Eh? And BTW, it's not "Windows 2007", it's "Windows 7"...

There's no reason why not to, several to do, and Microsoft recommends it.
It's Windows 7, by the way.

Microsoft recommends it?
Can you describe a scenario where they wouldn't recommend it?

First of all, note that it's called "Windows 7," not "Windows 2007."

My view is that you're going about this backward. A change of
operating system should be driven by need, not just because there is a
new version available. Are you having a problem with Windows Vista
that you expect 7 to solve? Do you have or expect to get new hardware
or software that is supported in 7, but not in Vista? Is there some
new feature in 7 that you need or yearn for? Does your job require you
have skills in 7? Are you a computer hobbyist who enjoys playing with
whatever is newest?

If the answer to one or more of those questions is yes (and your
hardware is adequate for 7), then you should get 7. Otherwise most
people should stick with what they have. There is *always* a learning
curve and a potential for problems when you take a step as big as this
one, regardless of how wonderful whatever you're contemplating moving
to is. Sooner or later you'll have to upgrade (to 7 or its successor)
because you'll want support for hardware or software that you can't
get in Vista, but don't rush it.

I say all the above despite the fact that I'm a big fan of Windows 7.

No problems! Just wondering if I need to "keep up to date"?

Thanks for all the comments
