M$ will NEVER tell you about the tricks WRT using "upgrade" disks.

That page doesn't assume it's a REinstall either.
It certainly doesn't assume it's 2009
(and that all the hardware vendors dropped their 9x drivers years ago).
THAT is the kind of page I was looking for.

The *16MB of RAM* thing is hilarious too.

...and again, Linux is FREE and doesn't make you do any of that nonsense
--not to mention Linux "test drives" (without having to *install* anything).
