Living Room / Re: One answered question before you died

Before I die I will ask the same question which I work on everyday:
How can I make better use of my time so I can contribute more and help end prejudice?

Hi; Donationcoder rules!

Actually the upgrade clean install is not a "Windows Secret" at all.

The Vista site is very clear on most upgrade issues. If you research a bit  (highly suggested) you will see that Home Premium is not accessible for an in-place upgrade from XP Pro. The key word is in-place. XP pro only upgrades in-place to Ultimate and Business Editions as upgrades traditionally ascend in versions. (Win2000 to XP Pro not Home) Home Premium cannot do an in place upgrade over XP Pro. You can qualify for the upgrade pricing and use VHP with XP Pro installed as the qualifying OS, and do a custom install. It will not migrate programs or data. To use an upgrade edition does not mean that upgrade edition can do an in place upgrade. There is a very good tool available which will assist with complete XP to Vista transfers.

Windowshelp.microsoft.com, Vista Community has an aggressive and well informed team of experts who assist peers with as much pertinent advice as possible as long as the inquiries are reasonably well-thought-out but rants or antagonistic POVs are unwelcome. There are alot of questions about the remote desk client and host usage but that's another topic rt?
