BK>>>> Upgrade from Win 7? How about from Vista?   
    TW>>> It will Upgrade Both Vista and Win XP   
      
    BK>>  Now that's a winner.   
    BK>>  If the OS is good. For $39.99 I can afford to give it a try.   
      
    RC> Keep in mind that:   
      
    RC> Windows 7 is based on Windows Vista..   
      
    RC> Windows 8 is going to be borrowing alot of Windows 7   
    RC> codebase..   
      
    RC> If it ran Windows 7 or on Windows 7, it will run/do Windows   
    RC> 8.   
      
    ...   
      
    RC> You cannot do an in place upgrade from XP, meaning that   
    RC> when installed, Windows 8 will be a clean install.. The   
    RC> installer will check for an existing Windows XP install to   
    RC> verify eligibility (or ask for a windows xp install disk),   
    RC> then it will install clean..   
      
    RC> There is a way around that using Laplinks PCMover, but I   
    RC> dont recommend doing that.   
      
    RC> If you can run a virtual machine, using virtualbox etc, I   
    RC> recommend you try out the consumer preview of Windows 8 and   
    RC> see for yourself.   
      
    Since it's getting harder to get replacement disks for XP, a   
    clean upgrade might not be all bad.
