Vista Upgrade Matrix

Tyler Too writes "With six different versions of Vista due once it ships, figuring out an upgrade path can be confusing. Microsoft has tried to clear things up with a 4x6 matrix laying out your options. 'In short, users of XP Home can do an upgrade install to any of the four Vista versions. However, XP Pro users can only perform upgrade installs to Business or Ultimate.' And if you're not running a 32-bit version Windows XP, there's no upgrade path for you at all."

There is only one person who can save us from Vista: Neo.

Do not try to install the new file system. That is impossible. Only try to understand the truth.
What's the truth?
There is no new file system.

Upgrade Matrix Is Flawed

I see they "conveniently" left out the boxes where you upgrade to linux instead.

If you have Gentoo, going to Vista would be a downgrade.

déjà vu

[neonprimetime]

Neo: Whoa. Déjà vu.
[Everyone freezes right in their tracks]
Trinity: What did you just say?
Neo: Nothing. Just had a little déjà vu.
Trinity: What did you see?
Cypher: What happened?
Neo: I had this operating system, and then another that looked just like it.
Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same OS?
Neo: It might have been. I'm not sure.
Morpheus: Switch! Apoc!
Neo: What is it?
Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
Neo: What did they change?
Trinity: More OS versions.
