Hehe, seems that there is another loophole in upgrade express. Now it's not upgrade but rather buy XP get Free Vista.. Haha

HoHoHo..Then means i am 1st batch to receive? haha
The process takes only around 20min for 2 time installation (vary on your system performance)...wont void XP key if u install 2 times the same Vista.. Cuz the key given for express upgrade is for upgrade purchase, no clean install.. If u hv inactivated vista in pc before..install once again vista is considered upgrade also..so it works..

With this method, wont void XP key and wont void vista key as no vista cdkey being input being input.. thumbup.gif

Vista will ask u whether to do clean install or upgrade during second time.. Select the clean install and Vista still backup the 1st time vista into your new clean installed vista.. Later, u just delete the backup file in folder named 'old' in C:

But for OEM version, i heard that reseller said that only can activate 3 times only. How true i am not sure la. But if i were to change Mobo, Hdd etc, i need to call Microsoft to verified this. Otherwise cannot activate one.

Number of online activation allowed apply to winXP as well..But they allow more than 3 times online activation b4 u need to call them do get the code for activation. All my 3 WinXP cd-key need to call Microsoft to do activation ..hehe

OEM version dont really allow you to change so many parts and do activation again. So when u call to Microsoft, just say format cuz of viruses and same hardware and pc u r installing the windows.

Hmm strange. But i really can fell it lag delayed for a while when changing track. Wat i mean is current track are playing a song, then i double click on another song to play. Normally it take me about 2 sec to changing media. But in Vista it took me 5-7 second to change to another song. There is written 'Changing Media' in the delayed doh.gif
