I think most IT Pros would never ever recommend an Upgrade disc to anyone, especially Windows.
It generally carries forward too many little quirks and errors.


Most IT Pros should know that just because it's upgrade media doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a clean install. You just need the media from the previous version of Windows you're upgrading for verification.
