Multiple Vista versions SOLVED
« on: March 02, 2006, 06:08:46 pm »
"With six separate versions of Windows Vista on the way, Microsoft has a marketing challenge on its hands. How will the company properly inform users as to which versions support which features? One part of the plan is now becoming clear: all four "consumer" versions of the OS will be available to users even after installation. How? They'll all be available for "instant online upgrade" once Windows Vista is installed."

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

The approach is simple: Microsoft is going to pack all four operating systems versions into a single disc package. Once installed, a quick trip to the Control Panel is all you'll need to upgrade from Home Basic all the way to Ultimate, should your heart desire. That, and a credit card.

Great, they're making it easier to buy the other versions.  Doesn't seem very useful otherwise, though?

What do you want them to hand you the versions? You get what you pay for..I'm also going to take a stab in the dark and assume that they offer the upgrades at a somewhat reduced price since you already have a Vista system.
