Well, it’s come to this. My attempt to understand and document the ways in which you can clean install Windows 7 with Upgrade media (see my previous article on this topic) has opened the proverbial can of worms. While I wish that Microsoft had stepped up to the plate months ago and simply described the ways in which this process can work, they have not, at least not adequately. And with millions of people purchasing Upgrade versions of Windows 7 without fully understanding what they’ve gotten into, it’s pretty clear that someone needs to confront the challenge of figuring this all out.
