What!!!!!! So you mean I wasted all those hours fiddling with these crazy migration and conversions and massive file copies from PC to MAC for no reason? 
I guess my actions were driven by my experience with the Windows XP Home edition Upgrade disk. I'm not sure how people get around that one but it definitely didn't allow you to clean install like the Windows 8 disk does, which I can say is working as I type this. THanks for that by the way, it saved me a lot of time, although I still have reinstall my applications, but I didn't have that many to begin with.
