I see Costco has it for 44 and 95. I ordered 1 upgrade from amazon a few days ago, probably order a few more from Costco.

I wonered how would a person know what they are upgrading to? - since there have been multiple verions of Vista at different advantages, including but not limited to 32 bit and 64 bit. Here's the link to an explanation of the differences. Home and Proffesional are the 2 versions the upgrade will apply to

Strange how Vista Ultimate users are left out of the upgrade offer....Although I will probably skip windows 7 this go round, Vista has been trouble free for me and with the latest SP2 upgrading will gain very little if any ....

Thanks, guys. Our laptop has Vista Premium, but our desktops are all XP. This is very attractive - thanks for the link!

And Costco sounds great. I actually bought my camera (Rebel XSi) from them.

Tried the update advisor - it works on XP32 but not on XP64 - says I need XPSP2 installed (the 64 bit system is up to date). 32 bit system adivisor says I am good to go - which I knew already from running the beta version - just need a driver to load for my raid card.
