All Vista Upgrades On One DVD Says Microsoft
Thursday, September 21st, 2006
In an effort to simplify the distribution of Windows Vista and make it easier for customers to 
upgrade, Microsoft will include the various retail versions of the OS on one DVD instead of having separate DVDs for each Vista edition, the company said today.
In the past, Microsoft distributed each version of the Windows client OS on its own disk, says our colleague, Liz Montalbano of IDG News Service. However, in a move it is calling "Windows Anytime Upgrade"–which cuts costs for Microsoft as well as making it easier for customers to upgrade–the version of Windows Vista that a customer buys will be activated by his or her product key and will be on a disk with the other editions of the OS.
For example, if a customer buys Windows Vista Home Premium from a retail store, he or she will get a DVD that also includes Windows Vista Ultimate, but the product key for the purchase will only activate Home Premium and its features and functionality, Mike Burk, a Microsoft spokesman, told IDG News Service.
