You only need the upgrade one if you already have a Windows operating system on it, such as 95. You need the full version to overwrite something like Linux.

Thanks, the microsoft site seems to say you need XP in order to get the Upgrade disc with service pack 2 on it.

Didn't make sense to me.

Does anyone know where Ican buy it the cheapest? Best Buy/Future shop want 140 bux
