I wonder if they popped champagne bottles at Apple when this announcement came out.

Anyway, the "no upgrade" thing. I ran into a similar issue going from Win2K to Vista (wanted to do a clean install). There was procedure where you installed once to active your upgrade key, and then reformatted the drive and did a clean install as a "reinstall". Worked fine.

I can't think of a time I've ever upgraded an OS. I buy an OS and keep it until the machine dies. New machine gets a clean install. So I ran Win2K for eight years and was all the happier for it. Now that I've worked out the kinks, I doubt I'll be upgrading Vista until this computer reaches the end of it's life cycle.
