Only Vista machines will be able to be upgraded in-place to Windows 7. They will need to perform a clean installation of Win 7 on top of XP. The bad news, as far as Windows XP users are concerned, is that Microsoft will not support in-place upgrades from XP to Windows 7.
#WINAMP FOR WINDOW VISTA UPGRADE#
The price is, of course, a critical factor when considering a jump to the next iteration of Windows, for both those that have coughed up a pretty dollar to upgrade to Vista, and also for the customers that have ridden XP for all its got, skipping the intermediary Windows 6.0 step. Still, the good news is that Microsoft will make available Windows 7 upgrade licenses for both Vista and XP. In fact, the software giant is making sure that the gap between the two operating systems is widened by the absence of in-place upgrade options. However, the same is not valid for Windows XP and Windows 7. In this context, the Redmond company has built a veritable bridge between Windows 6.0 (Vista) and Windows 6.1 (Win 7), when it comes down to in-place upgrades. Although in a delicate and continually evolving market share ballet, both Windows XP with 63.76% and Windows Vista with 22.48% (according to Net Applications) are equivalent to nothing short of a fair game for Windows 7.īecause, make no mistake about it, Windows 7 will grow its installed base for the most part to the detriment of its precursors. Just under a month ago, Microsoft made public its SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) strategy for Windows 7, while simultaneously delivering a sneak peek into the upgrade option details associated with the operating system.
