Question What version of Windows 7 do I need?

I am building a new desktop PC. At present my OS is Windows XP Professional 64bit. Is Windows 7 released as a full version (clean install) 64 bit Home Premium version? If so can you direct me to a web site where I can order this version? Also when I do a clean install do I format my OS drive? Or will the new Win 7 install over the old XP Pro? Finally is there one CD that I could purchase with multiple licenses? I would like to install Win 7 on two laptops. The laptops are 32bit running Vista Home Premium. Please help.

My components for my new desktop are:

EP45-UD3P Gigabyte motherboard

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 processor (64bit based)

4GB on board memory

Two Western Digital hard drives (1 tb each drive)

LG 22X DVD rewriter (internal)

Graphics Card: eGeForce 9500GT 1GB DDR, PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card

There is a Home Pack that comes with Three key codes...and will save you some money.

Since you can't upgrade XP to 7, windows 7 will wipe your drive and do a full install...Make sure you backup all your important data...

Curious to know what new features in Win 7 you like the most?
