Hello,

Thanks for the reply,

Yes, i am not forced to watch movies on my computer (that's what my tv is for, and it's very good at it), thankfully ! :-)

The problem is not using or not what is installed, it's just that it is bothering to me to have things installed that will evidently load the system in a way or another that i have no use for.

All i want is 64bit Business, and i couldn't find a business 64bit version box anywhere around, so I took a 64bit ultimate version box (probably a mistake).

Since last post, I tried installing Business without key then entering Ultimate key under Vista, unfortunately it doesn't work, error message saying i need Business version key.

It would be much better if the key was "downwards" compatible, much cleaner and simpler, i don't understand why they didn't do it that way.
But unless i find a way it looks like i will have to try and remove the media center, hd stuff etc... after install, as suggested on another thread, a wonderful way to start off with a new OS don't you think ;-).

Do you know of a way to remove all these things after install cleanly and as simply as possible (so it ends up like a Business version ) ?

I still don't understand why they don't put 64bit media in the business box, probably the box where it makes the most sense to put it (with maybe the ultimate for big gamers or people who like to watch movies on their computers, i don't.)
