Re: Windows XP Home No Longer Qualifies for Windows Vista Upgrades - More specifically for Business Upgrade or Upgrade + SA through Volume Licensing

Businesses most often purchase machines in bulk from large OEMs like Dell
which often preload it with a Business SKU. The Windows Business Volume
License SKU is only an upgrade disk that upgrades the machine for compliance
with the Volume License Agreement and streamlines management of machines
within an organization. Employees who might work from home still qualify for
home use.

If you using SA for your licensing, you most likely qualify for the Vista
Enterprise upgrade.

It also has potential to save businesses a lot of $.
But then that does not suit your anti Microsoft agenda.

Re: Windows XP Home No Longer Qualifies for Windows Vista Upgrades

Perhaps you should study those programs before you assume there is no
benefit for anyone.
There is clearly benefit for some.
More of your need for insults when you have no facts.

Can you contribute to the subject of the post?
Or are you only capable of your attacks?
