I've upgraded from 7.0->7.1 without losing any of my setup. I've also done the upgrade from 7.1->7.2beta on one of my non-work computers. Where's the problem? Microsoft has managed to have an "upgrade" because they want to make you pay more money for an upgrade. What they provide is a new installation that looks to see if you have an old one (and thus can pay the lower price of the upgrade). But when you go from W'95->W'98 you overwrite the registry completely and they rearrange the directory structure sufficiently that you end up having to reinstall most third party applications.
