“First, I took several of my Windows systems and tried
to upgrade them to Windows 7 Ultimate. It was… interesting.“With Windows XP, I found, as I expected, that there is no easy
way to upgrade. The only way to do is what Microsoft calls a

be-all and end-all is that you have to let the Windows 7
installation DVD delete everything on your hard drive.”
