Please note that I never advised that anyone else should do a fresh 
install rather than an upgrade. I was only qualifying my opinion about 
"new/moved filesystems" in F17. Plus I don't think Windows has anything 
to do with the topic or what I said ... the closest one can get in the 
way of comparisons is "fresh install" versus "upgrade" for dealing with 
future Fedora changes.
