1) XP Pro does not 'UpGrade' forcing me to re-install software

I had issues moving from Pro to Vista but ALL were issues with old hwd, HWD issues that I should have corrected long ago and outdated software.

It took a week, but after I looked back had I been running a clean XP machine the only issue I would have had is my TV software (SnapStream), it acted a bit flakey for a while but Snapstream did some tweaking that did the trick.
