    I have Vista Home Premium on my new laptop and am wanting to upgrade to Vista Business to utilize the work servers. We are a non-profit organization and so some places negotiate great discounts with MSFT for this. Lowest upgrade price we have found so far is $72. Anyone know of any other legit sites that may be cheaper still?

    Thanks in advance - factual stuff only please.

    I think you have a great deal there LEV, I searched and got as low as $104 for OEM Vista Business Upgrade DVD.

    Didnt bother with ebay as a business you would I guess want to buy from recognised retailers.

    Interesting and a possibility Steve. What does this mean though? Any idea? "Five unit mix and match product count to qualify".....I'm thinking you have to buy a minimum of 5 licenses?

    I didn't see that part, I'm thinking you might have to buy five "products". I just noticed that some non-profit's qualify. Give em a call tollfree.

    Thanks again Steve. Seems this minimum order of 5 is common.

    Does anyone know how much it would cost if I click the "Anytime" upgrade option on my Vista Premium version? Seems they don't want the expense of 5 copies immediately, but it will be that at this rate if I waste much more time researching this rolleyes Shouldn't IT dept do this stuff anyway? :innocent
