Re: What to buy?
All those sites don't mention that the Windows Genuine
Advantage program will eventually flag an upgrade only
clean installation as "non-genuine". Don't believe everything
you read as being true, especially when it comes to workarounds
which attempt to circumvent software licensing.

If you read the link that Val gave, or the dozens of other sites on Google,
you'll see that this is not true. I even think that the upgrade DVD is
exactly the same disk that come with all the other versions of Vista, and it
is bootable.
