I have an upgrade coupon for Vista Premium with a newly purchased PC. When
you go to the registration site for the upgrade:
http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista there is no option for an upgrade from
Xp Media Center Edition, only Home and Pro. Is this implying that there is
no direct upgrade path from Media Center to Premium and that you'll have to
pay the upgrade price from Home to Premium?



I will email moduslink for clarification, but was wondering whether anyone
else have any comments?

In case anyone's interested their site has now been updated to include an
upgrade path from XP Media Center. Unfortunately it doesn't now recognise
the Redemption Form Number!

What is interesting, is that the registration page refers to entering the
COA number of Microsoft Office! This is very reassuring, not!

I am in the same situation and waiting for a reply to the email I sent them.

I don't think the registration site is too robust yet. I have tried to use
it. It does recognise MCE but I got bounced on my (perfectly good) credit
card. Tried another, same thing. Left it a few days and now I get bounced on
my C of A nbr, which it previously accepted. :-( And the phone nbr doesn't
work. Guess I'll just have to be patient. I'm not good at patient.
