Actually, this turns out not to be always the case. A co-worker of mine updated his PC from Vista Ultimate to Win7 Ultimate RTM over the weekend. He says it went splendidly: he has found nothing so far that isn't working right and all his apps and settings, as far as he can tell, are still in place. Some other types of upgrades will certainly present problems, but Vista Ultimate->Win7 Ultimate appears to work pretty well. And this guy is no WFB, by the way. He prefers his Mac. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
