the futility of upgrading
They failed. It is too late now. vista is done, fully feature complete. Actually, there have been those who have been advocating Linux as a desktop .... Perhaps Microsoft will eventually include VirtualPC as part of Vista, along with 32 bit XP libraries. But this would throw the door wide open to Linux VMs as well.

Anybody there? XP has to be installed & activated. And then the Vista upgrade will work.

What is installed depends on the product key you enter.

But I am getting ahead of myself. Anyway, I started the upgrade using the 32 bit disk.

I would just do a clean install.

I've often likened XP 64 bit to Windows ME... the bridge for users who need to upgrade something until the real new OS (Vista) comes along.

Imagine also that both versions contain both 32- and 64-bit code, such that any computer could install the OS using the ONE install disc, regardless of whether its CPU Leopard is to OS X as SP2 is to Windows XP (NOT as Vista is to Windows XP). Oh, and a limp-wristed little jab about viruses in the wild. Cute.
