Re: Full Verison or Upgrade Office 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Actually, he did. You asked about whether you should buy the upgrade or full
version. He told you they are the exact same product. If you don't have a
qualifying product, then the upgrade will not work. There's no way around
that.

As for whether you should dump vista over your current OS or do a clean
install, part of the answer depends on your current OS and the version of
vista that you are considering. Perhaps you need to do a little homework
before you make your decision. The information is spelled out on Microsoft's
website.

No kidding. Dumb response, plus you didn't even answer the question.

I am going to upgrading to Windows Vista and will be doing a clean
install so
I do not have any clutter from my old OS. I am wondering what is going to
be
better to purchase the Upgrade or Full Version. I know that pros and cons
of
Vista Upgrade and Full Version and I am wondering if Office is the same
way
as Vista.>>
