Childishness snipped ....


Go work for a liberal politicial, they absolutely love logic like yours.

You misread the question and therefore gave the wrong answer.

Any version of Vista can be used to upgrade [move to the newer operating
system] Windows XP Professional. Some "require" a clean install (Vista HOME
Basic and Vista Premium). Others allow both a clean install OR an "in place"
upgrade (Business or Ultimate).

The O/P wants to perform a CLEAN install of Vista Premium over Windows XP
Professional (NOT an in-place upgrade). He can most certainly do that, both
legally and technically.

Ryan,
Clean-install the Vista upgrade version on any hard drive, with no prior
XP or W2K installation — or even a CD — required.
