If your campus is part of the MSCA (Microsoft Campus Agreement), you might be able get it even cheaper than that.

Worth it? Never really had any issues with Vista.

my wife hates vista, it runs fairly poorly. Since vista came preinstalled on her laptop, I am hoping that a clean install of windows 7 will help

A guy on TV said that it fixes all the problems that Windows Vista had. And then another guy with more hair said that fixed all the problems Windows XP had. |

I am recommending everyone in my company not to upgrade to windows 7 at least for now being MS neutered the security functionality with there changes to UAC.

I didn't either (a lot of the anti-Vista stuff was overblown), but I guess I'm a Microsoft early adopter (got Vista on the first day and pre-ordered 7). I really like the new taskbar and some speed improvements. If you can get it cheap, I'd recommend it (I pre-ordered it early and got it for $50 on Amazon).

Every "Vista Guide" on the web pretty much says (and my experience certainly agrees with this) that in order for Vista to be remotely usable, UAC must be turned off.

I have been using Vista for almost a year now and haven't turned off UAS and haven't had any real issues with it. I don't do anything all that intricate or complex with my computer, but other than occassionally having to click and extra box for UAC authorization, I haven't noticed a thing.
