upgrade to vista

I have a computer that is vista ready. I got the upgrade disk from HP. Just
wondering if I do the upgrade do I lose all the programs taht already
previously installled. Examples are 2008 windows office, I also have alot of
programs from work that I need to have on my computer again. I just want to
be safe than sorry.

It's all about Windows /Update/ here, not upgrading Windows. Try posting to
this Vista-specific newsgroup instead:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
