Hello all... I got my hands on a valid copy of Windows 7. I currently have Vista boot camped on my MBP taking up 35gb of HDD space. I have 80gb available on my MBP. Should I remove Vista in favor of Windows 7? I dont want to eat up much more of my HDD space so I think this is my only option.

Also, I have Vista boot camped and also installed as a virtual machine with Parallels. But I forget how I get it that way!!! :D I think when I installed Vista with boot camp I then referenced that partition with parallels but Im not entirely sure. Is my thinking correct here...

1. Repartition my HDD to have Windows 7 take the space Vista is currently occupying.
2. Remove the Vista virtual machine from Parallels.
3. Install Win 7 using boot camp.
4. Create virtual machine with Parallels.
