Ryan, is there an upgrade version or am I thinking of something else?

Turn it off, wait a while, turn it back on again.

There are really only two versions of Windows PX, Professional and Home.

The difference between retail, OEM and the corporate version is all to do with licensing. The underlaying software is identical.

The upgrade version has a different installation method which means that you must have a qualifying earlier version to install it.

There is also Windows XP Media Center Edition. =)

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who know binary, and those who don't.
