    Will VISTA be installable without reformating the HD?

    Even if they released an upgrade, I'm not sure why anyone would want to risk it, since it's allegedly being rewritten. imagine putting all your crappy xp code in nice, new code.

    Thats just the for purchase date target for consumers. It will still be out at the end of the year for corporations and such, just not for retail (and probably OEM) purchase.

    Not determined as yet, but it does have that option to upgrade from XP if the installer is run from the XP GUI, does not work well tho, so clean install is the way to go ALWAYS when upgrading to a new OS.
