XP to Windows 7? No soup for you!

by nigel on Jul.28, 2009, under Tech

An interesting note on Windows 7 - Microsoft has come out and said that there will be no supported upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7, instead only inviting machines already running Vista to upgrade onto 7 without a fresh install. Its a shame, but also it is a fair move on microsofts part - there never has been upgrade paths between operating systems more than a generation apart in the past - think Windows 98 to Windows Vista. In this instance however since the uptake of Vista has been so small due to the product being shunned from Business and Consumers alike, due to its many and well documented flaws, it would be adventageous of Microsoft to make an exeption in this case.
