Easier then Expected

Upgrade was easier then expected. Took a little less then 1 hour. Would have helped if the requirements had stated that Home Premium had to be updated to SP1 first. This caused an abort of initial attempt and it took almost as long to upgrade Premium to SP1 as it took to upgrade to Ultimate. Also I feel that most installations fail because people get impatient and anxious during periods when no activity is evident. It would help significantly if Microsoft designed the installer to constantly assure the user that things are proceeding successfully.

if you are running 64b Vista?

I ran into a catch-22 problem. This edition is a 32-bit version and I took the crazy chance to order my HP laptop with a 64-bit XP Home Premium. The software referred me to a web site to order a new distribution in 64-bit OR change media from DVD to CD-ROM. However, the web site is broken so I ended up having to call support. Microsoft plugged in the product ID from the Anytime Ultimate upgrade and told me they would be shipping new media with a whole new product ID. So, a little pain but a little good - I now have either a 32-bit version or 64-bit version!

Wonderful Upgrade

Vista Home comes with many laptops but the increased functionality offered through Vista Ultimate is worth the upgrade for my needs due to increased networking capability.
