vista setup choice clean upgrade

From disk I'm given one choice to load Vista clean. Alternatively, I could load Vista from within Win XP operating sys as an upgrade. I'd like to know is there any benefit to one approach over another. (I realize you've got to reload all your software and files). Thanks for your help -- Doug

Please note that BETA 2 means that Vista is still in a stage of development and there is no guarantee that everything will work after upgrading. If you treasure your data, I would preferrably do a clean install on a logical partition. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
