The default install is now an A&R. Apple has gotten rid of the  
'Upgrade' option, and is more selective about things it saves it the  
'Previous Systems' folder, and IIRC, (I don't have an upgraded system  
handy to check) calls it something else now.

However I've done the install on several systems now and users here  
have done quite a few more and no one's had any issues with lost data  
or anything.
