Full install of vista, or upgrade ? i know a full OEM is i think $149 for the buisness
with a new OS, for windows, always find it best to just get a full, complete install, just hear of so many issues with the "upgrade" versions.
all versions of Vista will ship on the same DVD, just depends on what serial you enter
Scandalous. Can you imagine paying £30 for low quality graphics in Doom 3, but having to fork out £150 if you want full quality, yet every other game costing the £30 for the full deal.
It's 2007 - there should be one version of Vista with the full set of graphics you expect in this day and age (but can be turned off if you have a slower PC). You get full Direct3D graphics with any computer game you care to mention released in the last 7 or 8 years. A £75 quid premium charge for a bit of a translucent glass effect is appalling.
The whole OS should cost £100 tops. I put these points in a restrained way on the Vista page on Wikipedia under 'criticisms', but the swines kept deleting it.
What a rip off.
I was referring more to the home basic/premium editions.Actually, what your paying for with the "ultimate" edition is a bunch of extra programs. People who buy home edition don't get those programs and therefor aren't charged for the programs.
