As
with the other poster I suspect you miss the point.
Buying
an upgrade package doesn't mean it HAS to be installed over an existing
installation... usually if it is not installed already it asks you for one of
the product disks. So you can clean-install an upgrade
product.

Of course the whole advice about installing on a clean system (which I also strongly recommend) just re-enforces that the only way to buy a MS OS is to buy a new machine every few years. Its about the only reason I would have to 'upgrade' to WinMe etc.
