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.

This is against the EULA, so if people do this, why don't they just download a pirated copy of the full version with the crack?
Because this way the end result is a full version that works with Windows update without dicking around with cracks?
