not so, The upgrade CD works fine as long as it is not the Win98SE upgrade,
that was purchased from Microsoft directly.

> Thanks for telling the list that MS hasn't eliminated that loophole in
their march to make us pay for everything twice or three times.  Demetri, it
looks like you can save yourself that extra $100 by buying the XP upgrade CD
instead of the XP Full install as long as you have a CD with a full install
of a previous Win 98 (not Win 95, per a previous listing) or 2K. I'm pretty
sure the previous OS has to be a full install CD, not an upgrade CD.
