Okay so as an outsider to windows it seems that Microsofts move to come out with a new version of windows is both a laugh riot and a sad sight.
I think Microsoft done goofed once more and maybe its time to see how it can undo its mistake.
The key to the failure is Microsofts need to do a mobile...

I have Windows 7 upgrade, Vista upgrade, XP upgrade, and Windows 2000 full so do I need to load all these OS's to upgrade to Windows 8? That would mean I have to load 5 OS's?
After reading the info on downloading the $39.99 upgrade offer I have this question.
For upgrading several systems would I have to do separate downloads and purchases on each
computer or is there an upgrade path for this situation with Windows 8 pro during the promotion
period?
I have a PC with full legit W7 Ultimate installed.
I also have a currently unused full legit Vista license. (originally came with PC .. I bought new OS not upgrade)

I have a dual boot system with Win XP (installed first) and Windows 7 x64 (installed second).
I want to replace XP with a clean install of another Win7 x64.
Are there any concerns, issues to be aware of ?
Will multiple boot menu be still available after installation?
Thanks!
