Windows 7 Upgrade Path |

Earlier today a fellow blogger from BusinessWeek (awesome magazine btw) cleared up a non-event for us in the IT world that might surprise some that are stuck in their OS comfort zone with XP. Namely:

If you want Windows 7, you’ll have to do a clean install.

So while there will be upgrade pricing and you may be able to install Windows 7 on the PC you’re using to read this blog post, you will have to clean install all of your applications and reapply all your settings when you get to Windows 7.

After all, not much of a surprise: Rarely anything has an “upgrade” path anymore, it’s all either a migration or “came with the new computer” zone.
