I am not a mac advocate (My last mac was Performa) , but things such as the matrix above justify those new apple commercials with the two guys.
So you mean to tell me that when I get my Vista Upgrade CD, I will have to first re-install my current version of Windows, then the upgrade disc? I can't imagine this process being less than 90 minutes.
Just wait until they do this "clean install" requirement with whatever comes after Vista, except that time around we will have discovered Microsoft to have gave us Vista discs made to rot by the time that version comes out.
