You Gotta HATE Vista!

What a pile of crap!

I'm setting up a brand new Vista machine, loading the several dozen
Microsoft updates and such, then installing Office '07 Professional Upgrade.

Vista has changed the User Password, and I can't get into the machine
anymore. The password worked for several Restarts, then when I tried to
install Office, I might have failed to Reboot after installing Works -- I do
not think that's true, but it could be. In any case, the Office install
would not take Works -- it is insisting on an Office product -- even though
it says on the box that Works is okay. I rebooted after cancelling the
Install, and the User Account password to open Vista no longer works.

Office is an Upgrade Version that clearly states on the packaging that it
accepts Works, v.6 through v.10 as the qualifying base -- I installed Works
v.9. Last time I checked, 9 is between 6 and 10, therefore should count as a
qualifying base.

It appears that I'll have to wipe the machine clean and do a full reinstall
of Vista to get around the password blockade that has been erected, and I'm
not sure how to force Works to be a qualifying base for Office Professional.

Any ideas before I light the fuse?
