timsart,
Great post. The MS sites you have links to have been up for quite a while and I believe that the left hand of MS does not know what the right hand is doing.
This quote from the MS store is interesting.
" You qualify for Windows 7 upgrade versions if you are running genuine Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 on your PC."
Now we know that Activation is one method they might use to Validate a users legal position in regard to their licence. But if memory serves, Win 2000 was pre activation and how can MS validate an upgrade install from this OS.
I also am amazed that this was not all cleared up way back before pre ordering specials were anounced.
