Try running the Windows 7 upgrade advisor.
Actually, it does. You need Windows 7 Ultimate Edition
Upgrade in order to upgrade anyways, so you have to pay more for that version. And, it's checking a verified OS installation
prior to it.
So you either shell out over 200 bucks for a version of the upgrade to Windows 7, or you pay full price. Either way, you have to validate it, is what I'm trying to say.
This is all in the name of Piracy, but Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot, I think.
