Jackass Installer of the Week: Vista Upgrade Advisor

Vista Upgrade Advisor RC

I am trying to figure out if my desktop, currently running Microsoft Windows 2003 SP1, is going to be fine with Vista on it. But no! The Microsoft Vista Upgrade Advisor requires XP or Vista. Why in the flying fuck would it run on Vista and not the other Microsoft OSes? If you are running Vista you already know how compatible it is, right?

The proper response would be to display a dialog indicating that there will be no in-place upgrade path from Windows 2003 to Windows Vista. Then it should continue to figure out if your system is compatible. I’d have preferred that over the snubbing I got. But what do I know? I only have to use this crap as my OS.
