Vista - media player vista business

Hi,
This is probably a rather stupid question, but still I'm confused. Does the
business edition not come with a media player? I can't play streaming radio
anymore ? Is this only available in the ultimate edition? Or do I miss
something here? In case this is true can I return my copy or upgrade to
ultimate on-line ?
Many thanks.

Sorry, I don't have the answer to your
WMP issue...I thought it was a component
of all MS Operating Systems. You may
need to update your audio driver.

But...yes you can upgrade online:

Upgrade to another edition of Windows Vista

To answer your first question, yes, Windows Vista Business does come with
Windows Media Player in it.
NOTE: However, the Business N edition does not include Windows Media Player.
It is sold only in the EU countries. (Stupid EU laws, I mean, why would
anyone want to buy it without the WMP?!)

Wait a minute. I'm in the US and got my version from amzon in the US. The
package says business, the CD says business,but yet the installed version
says business N.
What does that mean ?

I think Amazon might have some explaining to do.

Ok, I got it. There was an option at the beginning of the installation
letting me choose business or business N. Since I didn't know what the
difference is I picked N.
Thanks for all the help. You put me on the right track.
