From what i saw with XP, the upgrade CD I have installs the same as
what i'd have with a "full" version, it just has an additional step to
check for a previous version. In my case, as i tend to do a clean
install, it just requests I insert the previous CD in the drive.
Or do microsoft really leave something out of the upgrade version that
is included on the full version ? (I'm sure it'd be widespread
knowledge if they did)
