I got Ultimate Upgrade as an offer of 30 when buying a laptop from Amazon. Let's be clear I would not have paid the full price or anywhere near the full price, so my review is based on a purchase price of 30 only. br / br /I have replaced my Desktop XP operating system (3 year old pc) with Vista Ultimate as the laptop came with Vista Premium, good enough for me. br / br /I upgraded the desktop RAM from 1gb to 4gb before loading Vista Ultimate. br / br /It is important to go to Windows Update and make sure your system is up to date before proceeding and to do the same after you have loaded Vista Ultimate, this ensures that you have all the drivers and patches needed. br / br /The upgrade from XP on the desktop to Ultimate was pretty simple, although you do have to read the instructions as they come up and follow the advice about what drivers are needed to be downloaded (not run) before upgrading, for me this was a Linksys Network Adapter driver and a Canon printer driver, simple enough. br / br /It is an upgrade as I did not have to clean re-install and all my previous programmes and files accumulated over the past 3 years on XP have remained intact once converted to the Ultimate operating system. br / br /Very simple process as these things go with no problems. br / br /The Operating System itself is ok but to be honest I will probably not use many of the features and have just future proofed the desktop. br / br /

I got Vista Home Premium preinstalled on my new computer and I personally think it is the best version of Windows yet, it looks fantastic and works really well too. There are some great security features and everything is so easy to do. I would never go back to an older version of Windows now. br / br /But my Vista was preinstalled on a new computer which is fully designed for Vista in the first place. If you have a really powerful computer (one of the last ones to include XP) then you should be okay installing Vista, however if you have any less than 1 GB of RAM, don't bother. Vista is a fantastic operating system but it needs a Ferrari of a computer to run it.
