c'mon, be smarter then the chair your sitting on.

149$ is cheap, especially for a business related expense. Some of us have customers who sometimes have problems because they are running the latest and greatest or what ever and do not have a setting correct.
The only way to know what he is doing or maybe experiencing is to also have the same thing, its like having copies of firefox, netscape and IE on your computer so you can try to duplicate problems that customers may be having.

If your 159$ doodad is being used by 90% of my customers then bring it over, I will probably need it... if not and you are just trying to be smart then your 159$ doodad is about as useful as your remark.

Another nice thing about Vista are the games, they have a new game called "Ink Ball" which is pretty damn addicting :)

As far as installing Vista fresh, I know for a fact that both the upgrade and full version of Vista are identical, it's just the Windows key that determines which is an upgrade or full install in Microsoft's eyes.

I think that you could do a fresh install from the upgrade disk IF you have a previous version of Windows on the system before you install it.

I just bought the full version because I didn't know that there was an option to do a fresh install on the upgrade disk. I wish I knew that now.

You might want to check around to be sure, but my thinking is that they wouldn't have put the fresh install option on the upgrade disk if they didn't want you doing it.

Thanks a lot for explaining that. I'd much rather buy the upgrade version and do a fresh install. I will ask around!

if you dont need a new os..why go out and buy one just because?
