Inti College if i not mistaken right?

lolz.. nope.. it's TARC

Wah so cheap.
I want Vista Ultimate.

Yep, actually it shud be free for us, cuz WinXP original software also distributed free. I think campus wanna earn money from us so charge us RM10 for Win Vista DVD per copy

Tarc?? Why last time i study there they didn't give me XP?

Lolz.. cuz now Microsoft supports TARC le ma.. kaka..

I think no need to make another thread.This is info about downgrade rights.


Dearest All,

Microsoft noticed that they are many having a lot of misunderstanding with Vista Business downgrade rights.
For example:-

Misconception:
1) I need to buy another COEM license on Windows XP Professional if my OEM is Windows Vista Business - WRONG
2) I cannot use Windows Vista Business anymore after I downgrade to Windows XP Professional - WRONG
3) After downgrade, I need to upgrade it back after a year - WRONG (customers can upgrade and downgrade anytime they want)
4) After downgrade, I can use the Windows Vista Business license on another PC - WRONG (each license will only allow use of either Win Vista or XP on one machine at any point in time)

The process really is very simple:
1) Resellers are to install the OEM Windows XP Professional into their customer's PC BUT sell to customers the Windows Vista Business (i.e. they have to stick the Windows Vista Business COA on the PC)
2) When customers activate their Windows XP Professional, they will fail because the key has been activated before (resellers need to tell customers this)
3) Customer will then call up Product Activation Center (1-800-88-6295) and ask them to give a new Product Key to activate their Windows XP Professional
4) Customers will then get the new P/K
5) If customers want to upgrade their machines back to Vista Business, they just use their OEM media and upgrade their machine.

What Resellers need to tell customers is:

1) Windows Vista Business can be downgraded to Windows XP Professional
2) The process is:
a. Reseller/Partner installs Windows XP Professional into the PC
b. Customer calls Product Activation Center (1-800-88-6295) to get a new Product Key for activation

Kindly read attached file to make sure you are clear the above misconception.

Have a nice day to all.

I just bought Acer Ferrari...issit still posible that I apply for this promotion..??

If i not mistaken the promotion is end on end of this month but the order is end by 15 March. You need to check out the website.

I'm just install the express upgrade to vista business. I did not put in the serial number and now I have 30 days to register. Anyone know how to bypass this?

Why bypass this?
Just right click my computer then below the window click change key and enter you key
I dont think your key can be use by other pc le.. Bro, your T60 will love to have a original OS

Cheers!

That's true. I had a feeling that my T60 still love the original OS. BTW, which key u will do the win xp pro or vista upgrade?

Use the Vista Upgrade keys bro.. The COA come with your cd case

Cheers!

want to ask,

i have 760mb ram, 1.60 ghz processor, and pentium M...

is my system compatible with microsoft vista? which version of vista - is it home basic?

another question - are all software can be used with vista?

They gave free vista for TARC student also. Here at MMU they gave vista business for student and staff. No extra charge, except for blank DVD which cost is less than RM5. Which i don't even bother getting the DVD because the ISO files is all the same. Can copy from someone else later.

Your spec better go for Vista home basic couse aero gui sure lag your machine till u cant do anything..
If im you i wont upgrade to vista now couse of your 2nd question.. alot program still not compatible with vista and erm did you get all the Vista driver for you machine hardware yet?

Cheers, and Vista not that great neway.. at least for now couse of lack if software support.

really confused. they give free disc or account? that completely different things. if TARC and MMU give free accounts, i will ask someone to get extra for me

if give free disc, no thanks. already have it before vista even launch lol

Hi there guys, i want to upgrade my windows xp to vista business. how do i do it? i have tried at the microsoft upgradeweb but after filling the credit card number and click submit the page says that unrecoverable error has occurred. i click on link given it direct me back to the start page. does anyone know how to do it? tq
