I'm going to buy Vista.....well.....almost.......

[aldi]

I didn't post all the prices cause it was getting a bit tedious, but Ultimate upgrade is about £189, "Delivery: usually 5 days" Allthough it doesnt specifically say if it's retail or OEM I think these prices are retail, in which case XP retail is £210 - so still a fair gap between that and Vista Ultimate. Say Ultimate OEM comes out at a similar %age over XP OEM it'l be around the £100 mark.... which won't leave a lot of room for eight different versions between there and home basic OEM or whatever the bog standard version is called..


**extreme guestimation disclaimer**


ETA: I'm actually looking at one of these upgrade vouchers now and it says it's to upgrade to Vista Business. Apparently you have to go to

And enter your credit card number, weather thats just for the cost of postage or whatever I don't currently know.

Do I take it from that that there isnt a competitive upgrade path from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate?

According to this page www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeinfo.mspx there is an upgrade path from XP Pro to Vista Business or Vista Ultimate.
