Oh and one more question that had been raised but I don't think has been
answered.

If people cannot upgrade 32bit XP to 64bit Vista, is this inability to
upgrade a technical block or legal block to the process?

If it's a technical block, then will the process eventually be changed to
allow upgrading from 32bit XP to 64bit Vista?
