Microsoft will not close a loophole that offers consumers a cheaper way to upgrade to Windows Vista. Users can install the upgrade version of the new operating system as a fresh installation, even if they do not currently own a licensed copy of Windows XP. The procedure is time consuming, but allows users to save about 35 per cent of the purchase price for the regular Windows Vista.

I don't think Mac OS has anything to do with this article, even though I like the OS. I'm not upgrading to Vista on my newer pc, because I keep hearing it's a little slower than XP. XP runs very fast, so why bother with Vista?
