Vista Upgrade: part 2

now I read from a thread in the Vista Community Forum that an upgrade DVD is only bootable for repair. AND THE WHOLE THING MAKES SENS NOW! I guess the article I mentioned in my previous post below is pure...crap. Not to mention that this site shows illegal links to Vista RTM download and cracks...It might be the first time that I mention it in this blog, but anyway here it is: I HATE PIRACY! done.
The ununderstandable part of the article in the Vista Community Forum is that they pretend the 64 bit upgrade version would be bootable...why would it be? not because of a probable incompatibility upgrade process with XP 32, you could always go for a "clean install" from XP, moving the xp install to "windows old" folder... well I'm not gonna buy all Vista versions to test them (lol). Never read so much crap!
It would have naturally been fairer from Microsoft to allow, like before, a clean boot install from an upgrade CD requiring the short insertion of the old OS CD, and its key. They just wanted to make it more secure by requiring the old OS activation too, just in case you would use an illegal copy of XP to launch Vista upgrade I suppose...
