RE: In-Place Upgrade
Same problem!
MS sent us our vista business upgrade licenses, did an upgrade but ouch
BSOD's all over the place, did a clean install performance increase was
massive, but ouch our upgrade key's can't be used for clean installs.
Had an hr long conversation with the MS guy's and they just said that’s the
way it is, so if you upgrade you loose performance and not everything works
but your license will activate but if you do a clean install you get greater
performance but you cant activate.
Not sure why MS picked this option for upgrades but a bad decision in my
view, if users have paid for xp in the past and then go for vista upgrade it
shows they are loyal and MS should respect that by offering clean installs.
Anyways more people that complain the better according to MS!
