Vista Home Premium upgrade to Vista Business

I recently purchased an HP Pavillion Media computer that came with Vista Home
Premium installed. My wife needed Vista Business to access her employers
computer system so we had Circuit City upgrad the OS to Vista Business. It
seems that during the upgrade we lost the Windows Media Center and
potentially other software that came with Vista Home Premium. Can anyone tell
me how to get Windows Media Center back?

Media Center is not a part of Vista Business, it would have been removed
when you upgraded.

The only version of Vista that includes all of the Business features and
media Center is Ultimate.

Media Center and other "home" user bits are not included in Business
Edition. You cannot recover them,.
So you have gained some functionality such as the ability for your wife to
interact with her companies systems but you loose some home user features.

Business + Media Center = "Vista Ultimate"
