Purchased a PC with XP Pro and got the above mentioned offer from Microsoft.
Can anyone tell me if I HAVE to take this version, when Vista Home Premium
probably makes more sense fro my family. Hard to get through on Vista
Customer Service Line, and have not gotten an email back yet. The PC builder
is unsure of Microsoft's policy. I have to do this transaction by the end of
March. TX

you can't upgrade xp pro to the home premium version of vista because they
only let people with xp pro upgrade to vista business edition. persomally
you won't miss much using vista
business. it has the aero effect and flip 3d and all of the needed
features.
