Windows Anytime Upgrade for Vista sounds like a good idea. Its basically a single DVD that will have all the Vista versions on it. Users can upgrade between versions anytime by simply purchasing a new product key. Good stuff….Good work MS. I’m sure crackers would love to crack the product keys…

Users would only be installing the version of the operating system that they had purchased, as the product key would be version-specific. Versions range from Starter to Ultimate editions. Asked if this system meant upgrades would be cheaper, as production and retail costs for Microsoft will be lowered, the spokesperson said they could not give any details of pricing at the moment.
