Windows 7 Clean Install

Quote:Some versions of Windows can't be upgraded with the installation disc you're trying to use. For example, you can't upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade from a higher edition of Windows, such as Windows Vista Ultimate, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Home Premium. If this is the case, you'll need to use the Custom option during installation.
Doesn't look like it'd work; only vista ultimate can go straight to 7 ultimate; vista buisness would only upgrade to 7 professional. :(Well that was needlessly confusing.
Edit: Oops, it seems like you were already aware of this.


According to the page, it also sucks badly for XP users who must do a clean install; and of course XP is still used the most... way to go M$ /rant. Sure it'd be hard to jump 2 generations and a clean install for new OS is always better , but it'd be really hard to convince people to go over to 7 like this.
With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
