I had no trouble whatsoever.  Of course, I was neurotic about reading every
single "READ THIS BEFORE UPGRADING" wiki post, and followed everything to
the letter.  It was the simplest upgrade I've ever done on any system.

I had been assuming I'd have trouble, and was fully prepared to wipe the 
drive and start over, since the laptop had *nothing* on it other than the
system when it was handed to me.

Of course, it probably left all sorts of droppings all over the place that
will never get cleaned out.
