Ok. What if you could then upgrade to the FULL version by paying the difference between the full version and the version you have? Don't you think that'd be a nice deal?

Because that's how Vista works.

Probably for some, I'd rather get the whole product and then decide by myself what to install and how to configure it in order to adapt the product to my hardware and needs.

Why not save the money up front just in case you decide not to upgrade for one reason or another? It is indeed a good option.
