Hey all so, taking advantage fo my new student status. I ordered me a copy of some sitelicensed MS software. One thing I bought was a seat of Win Vista Business. Why, well I do tech support and figured I should play with it some, and there is some thought that I might "need" to get crysis.
I was trying to evaluate how this upgrade will work, my hope is to run it as a tri boot with ubuntu, Winxp and vista. Since my site license only allowed Vista Upgrade I will need to void an xp license, at least that is how I remembered it. I have 1 xp Pro License, and 1 xp home OEM license. Does anyone know if the upgrade will allow me to usel the xp home oem? Does anyone know if the Vista Upgrade still deactivates the XP license?
I will find the answers to those questions if I serach enough, but the real reason for this post was to post this Vista flow chart.
