Really?
I haven't been keeping count,
but my impression is that I have seen far more problems
where people simply say the installation does not work
than people who say they have problems with an upgrade.
Of course I have no idea what proportion of people upgrade
or install, so my observation is of very little value.

I always upgrade, but I am in a very delicate position -
I have no floppy drive or CD drive on my laptop
and have to install from the hard disk
after downloading by WiFi.
So I daren't risk losing my connection.
