"Upgrade Editions"? That would be silly.

Also, any price mentions?

Under the heading "Before you buy" it says:

"Since you're running Windows XP, you can install an upgrade version of Windows 7, but you'll have to first back up your files, do a clean installation, then re-install your applications and files."

So now you CAN upgrade from XP?

You CAN upgrade from XP from this version or the CD version, but it actually works like a clean install, it doesn't upgrade the OS as it is.

XP is just your 'proof' that you are eligible for the upgrade.

You cannot 'upgrade' in the real sense of the word. You still need to format and reinstall. Microsoft will just sell you a full version at an 'Upgrade' price... In anycase doing a clean installation is alwayus worthwhile...

A Clean installation is not an upgrade. Clean means "wipe everything and start from scratch"

if your netbook has xp on it dont waste your money on a full version just get the upgrade version, just because you cannot 'upgrade' in the literal sense you can still use it but just for a clean install (which I think is better) therefore saving your money.
