Ive got a Vista Home Premium that I am upgrading to Vista Business.
I have the Vista Business upgrade disk, but it wont let me do an 'upgrade'
only a 'clean install'
MS vista upgrade web site also shows 'clean install' as being the only option
when upgrading from Home Premium to Business.

Anyone know a workaround to force an upgrade, I really dont want to have to
reload all the other software after a 'forced clean install"

Or you could purchase Vista Ultimate. :D
