I wanted to do a clean install of Vista Home Premium, but I purchased an upgrade version to upgrade my XP Prof. on my E1505. I read some where that you must first re-install XP in a clean install - you can't just insert the XP CD. Then I read that you can do a clean install of the Vista Upgrade as a "trial version" (not entering the key) and then install it again from within Vista WITH the key. It actually worked very well. So I got to do my upgrade as a clean install without the hassle of installing XP again. Just in case some of you hadn't heard about this or were wondering if it actually works. Perhaps this really does mean you could purchase the upgrade version of Vista and treat it as a full version. (of course that would be illegal.) Vista Aero Glass is awesome!
