Looks like it's only upgrade editions, though, no stand-alones. I don't know about you, but "upgrading" your OS and just over-writing the new one overtop the old never goes well. Too many little things that can go wrong...I'm surprised there's even a market for it.
Technically speaking, let's say the only full OS you own is 98 and you got the XP upgrade, and then buy the Vista upgrade. If you installed from scratch, say after a format or on a completely new system, wouldn't that mean you have to install 98 1st, XP on top, and THEN Vista, since neither of the latter 2 are full install versions?
