>>I'm still not a fan of upgrading any version of Windows.

Agree & prepped machine for that. However, it was new in June & dedicated, so essentially a new Vista PC. The software that I did run on it would have required manual reactivation that might have taken it down for a day, so decided to give upgrade a shot.

It was a good opportunity to see how they've progressed w/ 'upgrade' and now confident enough to just upgrade my main PC & another steaming machine (which are only a few months older). On the old Vaio notebook, I reformatted/installed the beta, & felt like I'd bought a new PC w/ the new eye candy & speed. Clunker to netbook.

They nailed it & 3 licenses for under a buck-fifty brings back a bit of MS warm/fuzzy. They're listening & moving.
