WinXP: Upgrade or Full?

[tmung]

Hey, I'm getting ready to switch over to WinXP from Win98 SE and was wondering if I should go with the WinXP Pro Full version or if the upgrade would suffice. I want to do a clean install and want to do all the partitions and formats using the WinXP partitons and format types. If I buy the upgrade will I have to install Win98 and then install WinXP over it or does WinXP simply ask for a previous OS disk before installation? I'm just basically asking if I can do a clean install of WinXP using the Pro Upgrade. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Get the upgrade one (a lot of saves) and you can do a clean install. Be aware of losing all files and stuffs on your PC, because the hard disks will be reformat in order to do clean install.

if ya have previous windows versions on cd, then upgrade would be ok, upgrades will ask for cd during fresh installation.

Just IMO, u don't know what you're missing. I'm not necessarily talking about XP but rather the Windows Engine😉. Seriously, you haven't used a computer until u've used the NT Kernel. It is sooooo much more stable and fast, and Reliable. I'd get 2000 Pro and try it,
