lol as you can see from my first post I anticipated a large amount of comments from the "Anti Vista" posse, mention "Vista" and it awakens all sorts of passions.

Some times you have to be a little harsh to stop threads becoming complete pee pond of drivel :xmouth:

Any probs just delete the thread, rather see that than another huge thread on the Cons of Vista, Just though a few people might like to see OEM pricing and discuss it.

I don't think it's too much to expect to have people stay on track and not hijack your thread with endless anti-vista ranting. Amazingly, for some people it seems to require more physical effort NOT to post than it does to post. Not quite sure what the evolutionary advantage there is ...

Yes you can, but not from all versions of windows xp to all versions of vista ie:

Xp professional can only be upgraded to Vista Business or Ultimate without a clean install.

Xp Home can be upgraded to any version of Vista

517058 2007-01-18 02:06:00 thanks for you really useful commentHere's another one... Vista sucks. It sucked from it's inception and it'll suck until the day it dies. And thanks big time for the offer to add links. I didn't know it was open season. Greg (193)
517059 2007-01-18 02:12:00 Interesting . Bet thats from Tech Pacific .

My supplier for O/Ss (Synnex) don't have their pricing available until end of the month .

Not too bad really, considering the disgusting retail price .

517060 2007-01-18 02:22:00 It would almost be cheaper to but the dirtiest new pc you could find and recieve the voucher for the cheap upgrade and use the new pc for a (add your poison) plod (107)
517061 2007-01-18 02:29:00 LOL! It is not a matter of "liking" Vista, but more a matter of whether there is actually any need or "Holly Cow Wow factor" to warrant an upgrade or buying a new machine to run it other than to put money in Microsoft's wallet because you feel obliged to.

Go blow elsewhere and take your anti-Microsoft baggage with you.

Put up or Shut up.
