I feel the same and agree with u. icon_rolleyes.gif
But I think people basically judge on either it is tangible or intangible assets. tongue.gif
They are willing to buy high end gadgets because they can feel,hold and see it.Probably is .  wink.gif

Not to mention it gives them more bragging right tongue.gif

If you own a 8800GTX, you can show off by installing the latest Games with high frame-rate whatsoever.

If you're using a legit Windows Vista, outsiders won't really know/care whether it's legit or not hence there's nothing to show off wink.gif

For software, what you must consider is not only the cost of the Box, Manual and CD, but also the high RnD cost, the support you're receiving throughout the lifespan of the OS (hey, do you really think Microsoft provide monthly security, IE/WMP updates for free?)

If i m not mistaken, Enterprise wil never hit the retail shelf, its only to be sold by the major server makers. e.g Dell, IBM, HP, Sun and So on, its only installed and well tuned to suit the hardwares in the server... the main and only reason for that is to solidified stability of the servers that run 24/7 nonstop. So only the Microsoft assigned companies are given permission to installed and fine tuned the Enterprise version.
Correct me if I m wrong lah!!!! tongue.gif

Windows Vista Enterprise is available only to Volume License customers who have PCs covered by Microsoft Software Assurance. Basically this applies to corporations with lots of PC's maybe more in hundreds.

I am currently using Windows XP Home Edition which came bundled with my laptop so if I switch to Vista, I should go for Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade or go for the Windows Vista Full Version? Is there any difference between this 2 since the price of the upgrade version is significantly lower than the full version?

Dun be get confused, my freind . tongue.gif
.If u have windows XP home edition after 27,Nov 2006,U will get free upgrade to Windows Vista Home basic with payable to microsoft for a small courier fees.
.The different between Windows Xp Home Edition vs Vista home basic for retailed packing.Oem packing is u bought a new PC/Laptop together .As Oem means software that distributing with a new PC/Laptop.
.If you do not have any OS with ur old PC/Laptop, u have to buy the full version. nod.gif

You are right.One PC one OS only.But New Oem OS is only for new PC/Laptop.
On my opinion,there is an exceptional case.

Let say : U change mainboard ,change harddisk ,change processor, change Ram for the purpose of upgrading,Microsoft might allow u to use the Oem version.Correct me if I am wrong. icon_rolleyes.gif

well a friend of mine bought a laptop last month... comes with an oem win xp. had to format the laptop after a few weeks due to some problems. cant activate it after that as he changed some specs between the time of 1st activation to reinstallation. all he did was called microsoft, and they issued him with a new product key.. took him less than 5 mins i think.

for upgrading, microsoft doesnt allow user to do clean installations, which mean you will have to upgrade vista on to your existing XPHome or Pro. if your vista crash and again you will have to reinstall your XPhome or pro then again upgrade to vista. rclxub.gif

Exactly.There's other circumstances u will get the product key without any changes. tongue.gif One OS is one time activation, is true.But if ur harddisk spoilt ,softwares corrupted etc.U need re-installed or reformatted the harddisk.All u have to do is just explain the problems u face.

After all, u can't cheating also.Microsoft request ur old product keys verification before they issue a new product keys. notworthy.gif

U can either use phone or thru internet online. thumbup.gif

Should not be that ler . tongue.gif
U dun need to re-installed XP home or XP Pro.Not logical.I think Microsoft will send a complete CD same like Oem version.U dun need to use the previous version.Use the Cd they sent to you is enough.

This is more comfortable.Software giant should consider possible future problems face by the user.Hence, I think u have think too much.Hopefully I am right too. laugh.gif

if u change your mainboard a hundred times, you'll just have to call MS to activate your system.. thats all.. you can still use the OEM key.. this has been going on for my review system for a long time and i can remember all my key presses for my CD Key.. the only problem is that sometimes it takes a long time as you have to press all your keys and listen to the automatic voice repeat it..

For XP
------

Call hotline..
Follow instructions..
Key in CD Key..
MS rejects your CD Key..
Operator picks up call..
repeat CD Key..
Gives you a phone activation code..
DONE..

its actually almost the same with the retail version, just that you can try a few more times more than the OEM..

the OEM is an "upgrade" only, and not like the full version which would let you install even if you don't have any OS running.
