If you’re buying a retail copy of Vista, and you already own a previous version of
Windows, such as XP, don’t buy a full version of Vista. Find out what Microsoft’s current
requirements are to qualify for an upgrade version, which is much cheaper. To
successfully load an upgrade version, you usually must be installing onto a machine
that has the old version installed, or you must have the old version on a CD (which
you insert briefly during the installation of the new OS as proof). Microsoft can
change these requirements at any time, so confirm this before whipping out your
plastic.
