Has there been a definitive answer to which version of Vista will be provided
with next week's Action Pack release? I've read everything from 10 licenses
of Business & 1 version of Ultimate "for OEM testing use only" (whatever that
is) to 10 "upgradable" licenses of Vista Business @ $139 per each
Business-to-Ultimate upgrade.

All I'm really hoping for is 1 copy of Ultimate to become better acclimated
with Bitlocker & Media Center. I know we were given te opportunity to play
with it in the RC, but nothing works better than using it every day on your
personal, stable machine.

My reading of my info was 10 licenses of business and that's it... But I
don't always ask about the OEM "testing" stuff.

I believe it's business.

It's not stated in the link but I believe it's an upgrade version not a full
version. The Action Pack switched to upgrade versions of XP a while ago.

The 10 licenses are definitely business -- There was some rumour that
there might also be a single Ultimate license (Possibly a
OEM-for-testing-only) included, but it now appears that is not the case.

I too would love to have a single ultimate just to become familiar with
it. It's not worth the cost as I wouldn't get any added value, Business
is what I need to do my job.
