It may not be news for some folks around here but it really gets my goat
when I go to the store and buy the Vista Home Premium edition upgrade
because the box says something like needs windows 2k, or xp or vista to use
this edition.

Good enough, I have XP Pro on my computer so I buy it only to find out later
that vista tells me you have the wrong edition, if you want to upgrade xp
pro to vista then you need the vista business edition, not the home premium
edition.
Of course it gave me the option to do a fresh install (and I did) but that
was NOT what *I* wanted to do.

Had I wanted the business edition of vista then I would have bought that,
but I didn't want that.

Well......

Back to reinstalling everything.
