but if you have a wiped HDD you cant do the upgrade process. i think this started with Vista, as before that you could just stick in the old serial numbers on an upgrade license.

In the windows 98 days, you could upgrade from win95 to 98, just by putting the win95 cd in during the install of win98

At this early stage the initial response, is that Win 8 is going to stink as a Desktop OS.

Who knows, maybe people ar not ready for changes, which eventually they wont be able to believe they lived with out.

Are we not all like this for every new version of windows, as we dont really like change. Me for 1 hated win8, but now its growing on me and I think the new start will be better then the old one
