I agree, but I *have* seen a few instances of this. In all cases, it was 
done by people with little pooter background.

If the user is already familiar with OE and has access to cheap M$ 
updates (Candy Store, work, getting the 3rd license free from a friend 
who bought a family pack, etc)... it happens.

In one case, it was even 98SE > XP > Worsta > Win7 !
(That one still amazes me that it even booted! I ended up doing both a 
major hardware upgrade *and* a slash 'n burn W7 install on it.)
