Vista Upgrade

[Richard]

Do you have to have XP fully installed on your computer before to install
upgrade Vista? Can you in install Vista on a blank Hard Drive and then when
Vista asks for XP just put your XP CD in and then continue with Vista. That
way you don't have to over lay Vista with XP which is just more garbage on
your computer.

Vista doesn't install like XP. It lays an image down, saving XP stuff in a
folder called 'Windows.old'. There is no facility for using the XP CD as
proof as with previous versions.

While both facts are true, what does one have to do with the other?
