I have never done an upgrade on any OS myself, I really do much prefer 
clean installs, as it means that there will not be any stale data that 
was there previously.

I have heard of many people complaining that things get broke when they 
upgrade, because of incompatibilities between new and original software, 
plus settings don't keep properly.

If you really do want to have everything nice, I would definately saving 
all your data and going for a clean install.
