No Vista clean install for you!
Counting on buying an upgrade version of Windows Vista, but wiping the machine first of the old version so it’s a clean install? Bad luck, Microsoft’s made changes that will prevent it, unless you install onto an empty partition. Never mind that it’ll make a periodic re-install a right pain in the arse. What were they thinking?
PS. Tuesday: Ed Bott pours cold water on this, not saying it’s untrue, but saying “wait and see…”

Be alarmed I think.

Is it possible that they’ve finally constructed an operating system that doesn’t need to be reinstalled now and then? It’s not such a silly idea. Apple already has it under control.

*blinks* No reinstall? I rebuild and upgrade my computer a couple times a year ’cause I’m constantly pulling things out and putting things in. I need to be able to do that. WTF?! Thank god for pirated software.
