OK folks, here is a tidbit for you, if anyone has been checking out Windows 7 and thought that an upgrade might be in their future, well they would have been dismayed to find out that there is no direct upgrade path from XP to 7. That means you can’t insert you good ol’ Windows 7 disk and upgrade your XP machine. The only upgrade path is from Vista to 7. At least that is the story from Microsoft. I have read a few people who have posted hacks and workarounds, but I haven’t tried any, maybe they work maybe not but it seems like a lot of trouble nonetheless. So, what’s the point of this post? Glad you asked! A colleague passed on this link to a tool that is supposed to support the allusive in place upgrade of Windows XP to Windows 7. Now, I haven’t tested it yet since it’s a commercial app, but I am going to see if I can get a demo in order to do a proper review. If anyone has tried it, or does try it please drop a line and let me know how it works out for you. Enjoy!
