I'm putting a new system together and want to upgrade from XP to Vista.
I'm currently running an OEM version of XP Pro that I bought from newegg. I've had it installed on the same rig that I built back in 2004.
My question is should I get an OEM version of Vista or should I get an Academic version?
I quality for both, as far as I can tell.
What are the differences between the two?
Can I do an install of Vista without installing XP first, or do I need to install XP and then install the upgrade version of Vista?
Here are links to the versions I was looking at:
