The upgrade versions are 33-50% cheaper than the full retail ones, which might seem like a good deal. However, according to a knowledge base entry on Microsoft's website, users buying upgrade copies of the Home Basic and Home Premium editions of Vista won't be able to do a "clean" installation of the new operating system. Instead, the user will be required to have a previous version of Windows installed on his PC first. By contrast, upgrade versions of Windows XP simply required the user to verify that he owned a previous version of Windows by inserting the CD during the installation process.
