I’ve been a Microsoft Action Pack subscriber for year, and usually had my software upgraded as soon as possible after release. As a computer consultant, I always had to rely on the latest software, and I’ve kept up my subscription for years.
Finally, yesterday, my Windows Vista and Office 2007 arrived . However, I’m less than enthusiastic about not only taking the time to install it all, but about the potential problems I’ll encounter.
Another reason I’m hesitant is that unlike previous years, the new version of Windows Vista I received is an upgrade, and not a full version. What the heck is that all about?
Upgrading an operating system without a full reinstallation goes against everything I’ve always recommended, so i’m not gonna do it yet…
I’ll let everyone else have the problems first, then I’ll have a wealth of information to research online about everyone elses problems, as I (no doubt) encounter them one by one.
Anyone done a successful vista upgrade yet? Please comment…
Follow these steps to perform a clean install of Vista with an upgrade copy.
Nice catch, Kevin, thank you. Now I can put Vista on a separate hard drive.
Still, what the heck is the reason they sent upgrades?
