Hi everyone, Has anyone bought a computer prior to vista that came with an
upgrade offer. Then upgraded and now want to upgrade again. What would be
the proper purchase. Would you use anywhere (which was not included), go for
the upgrade version or just purchase the full retail

In your case, you would purchase an Anytime Upgrade for Windows Vista
Ultimate. The Anytime Upgrade is cheaper than purchasing a Vista Ultimate
retail upgrade. You buy it http://www.amazon.com/software

I would not use an upgrade on an upgrade. Way too much hassle if it all
needed re-installing..

In fact, I wouldn't use an upgrade anyway. The full retail version (not OEM)
is good for a clean installation on ANY machine..
