It will require a clean install. It is supposed to have the "Files and
Settings Transfer" capability.

My cristal ball isn't working but 64 bit is a good guess & better have a
backup handy ....

Your current 32bit apps wont work on XP64. So an upgrade would be useless.

Very untrue. An upgrade will likely not be possible with the differences in
the two OSes, but 32 bit apps do work on XP64. There iwll be exceptions of
course, but they did a good job of incorporating an emulator to make sure
you will have cross compatibility with most applications. The install even
has a 32 and 64-bit version of IE already installed.

A clean install is really the only way to go to avoid glitches.

If they will ship in 2005, may I suggest a backup of your data? It will
be crash prone, a "stable" version won't be available before 2008.

Very cynical, but true!
