Wow, I missed the SA stuff altogether. Thanks for pointing that out.

Now if we can just figure out the naming stuff. :-)

Hello Mike,
UPG is the upgrade version. It does compliance checking for a legacy
version of Windows so setup needs to be started from within Windows to be
able to use this version.

Will it be possible to do a clean install on the same partition (delete and
format) as the qualifying system after checking, or will it have to be
installed on a new partition.

In my previous experiences with Windows Upgrades - most of the time if you
have the CD or DVD of the "Qualifying OS" the upgrade will accept that and
install on a blank Hard drive.

Hello John,
I don't think so I haven't tried that scenario, you will not be able to
remove the underlying OS from the volume(either the boot or the system
volume), clean install would need to be to another volume. If the boot and
system partitions were different you may be able to remove the boot
partition( the one that contains \windows), but you wouldn't be able to
remove the "system" partition ( the one containing the boot files) since
the Windows Vista temp files are located on that volume and you can't
remove the temp files out from under setup.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Also could you confirm whether someone could then install the 64-bit version
of Vista from an XP86 or is the upgrade only from 86 to 86 or 64 to 64.
Does the version of XP have to be activated and does the product have to
have the Genuine process run before it will qualify?
Thanks

Hello John,
You do have to be inside the same platform of the OS to run setup. So you
cannot run 64-bit setup from within a 32-bit OS nor can you run 32-bit
setup from within a 64-bit OS
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
