Do not do upgrades!

So if I use the file and setting backup feature, I still have to reinstall all of my software, correct? Any advice on what is the fastest method to not have to deal with finding all of my programs and drivers for a clean install?

Yes I would also like to know, because the "Transfer parameters from one computer to another" feature in WinXP and Vista never worked very well for me.
