I don’t follow: anyone with any shop experience knows that a straight “upgrade” over the current installed OS version is just an invitation for disaster.
Fresh installs only, my fellow technocrats. But then again, we’ve moved past closed-source “solutions” haven’t we? For shame.

Your comment holds true. However my “no upgrade from XP” sarcastic comment, was mostly related to the fact that Vista had no widespread adoption. In this particular case, when the majority of windows computers are still running XP, It should have made sense to make an upgrade path to Windows 7.

I whole-heartily agree. Thanks for posting this, as I now know I won't be saving anything when just buying 7's upgrade.
Cripes. I really would like to get myself off the crack, but there's no real choice when looking into 3D-ECAD/MCAD. Like I said… for shame (@ MS).

How about Pro/Engineer? Last time I checked they had a version for linux. Not sure if they still do.
