I have a curiosity question that I can't find a google answer for. Why can't I do an "In Place" upgrade from Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional?
 
It falls more under what MS deems upgrade worthy. Microsoft (IMO) feels you didn't pay enough for an upgrade to professional status. Which is why you have the option for Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade, and then again with the Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 professional. I suppose you could upgrade Vista to Vista Business, and then you would have the upgrade option for Window 7 Professional.
