This is _very_ helpful. I'm surprised that Dell doesn't document it
better. Or, do they want someone to install over XP? That would be a
pain, seems like it would leave a lot of junk on the system.

Yes, and it works, but there is a trick to it..
First install it to a clean hard drive, but do NOT give it the product
key. It will ask you which version to install. Make sure you pick Vista
Business. It will install in 30-day trial mode. Do NOT activate it.
Then, from Windows Vista, run the install again and this time DO give it
the product key. It will recognize that it is doing a valid upgrade
(Vista upgrades Vista). You can then activate it.
Works just fine.
