What a pain in the ass.
My upgrade to Snow Leopard ran with zero problems, none of this windoze crap

After running Windoze7 for a while, it may lead you to the Mac, since that's what they appear to be ripping off.

Aww jees, I’m soooo tired of u asses, if apple ran 70% of THE WORLDS pc’s then you would have the same issues. Shut up and let the info come, I cant wait to upgrade to 7.

I’ve used both PC and Mac for years.

I’ve serviced both PC and Mac for years.

I like them both, and each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Market share aside, Mac’s are just as much a pain in the *ss as PC’s.

Come work in my shop for a week and you’ll see.

Reading comprehension a bit lacking?
This isn't about upgrading.
It's about installing the upgrade version as a clean install.

An upgrade also works fine for Windows 7. The reason what he’s doing is a PITA is that he’s trying to con the OS to save money, he’s trying to use the much cheaper upgrade disk (intended only to be used on a machine with Vista already installed) to do a clean install which this disk was never intended to do. He’s giving himself migraines to save a hundred bucks.

This is about a hack for using upgrade media for a clean install, not upgrading from a running version of Windows. Regular upgrades from Vista or XP are simple and automated.
