| More Vista Activation Woes . . Activate Vista, loose XP key... or license? OC.com has an editorial on it "Just more crap to worry about with these great 'buy xp now, get vista later' deal. If you choose to purchase an upgrade version of Windows Vista to upgrade XP, you will no longer be able to use that version of XP, neither on another system, nor as a dual-boot option. The key will be invalidated, preventing activation. http://overclockers.com/tips01100/
