Stew In its great magnanimity Microsoft is also offering discount prices on pre-orders of Windows 7 upgrades today (June 26) through July 11 (in the USA). Home Premium for $49.99 (list $119.99), Professional for $49.99 (list $99.99). Limit three per customer. Also "There are a limited number of copies available." (no indication of how many) There is much bitching and moaning in the comments to the Microsoft announcement (as well as other places) to the effect that M$ has a lot of gall charging even that much, given all the negative feedback from Vista users. Both XP and Vista are eligible for this upgrade, but for XP it must be done as a clean install. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy...pre-order.aspx http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw...ws+7&x=15&y=15 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&type=category |

"Rich" wrote in message ... Wrong price for Professional. It is $99.99 As an aside, given that a clean install is needed for the XP Pro - Vista Business upgrade, I wonder if it is safe to assume that ANY of the upgrade discs are capable of a qualifying clean install? Meaning, if I wanted to "upgrade" my XPS 420 (WinVista Home Premium 32) to Win7 Home Premium, I'd simply prefer to perform a clean install rather than a "true" upgrade. I'm guessing that is possible with the proper Vista product key. |

As you say, the discount price for Professional is $99.99 (list $199.99). |

Looks like the answer is 'yes', but spinning up the upgrade media from the GUI, which is fine. |
