I have an express upgrae V of Vista Business coming (Someday!) . When
it finally arrives I would rather put it on my desktop. Do you think
this will be possible or will these be machine specific? Thanks.
 
Not sure about this? The express upgrade is tied to the purchase of a new
PC, so it's possible that it could be configured to use a special Product
Key that will only upgrade the OS that is on the particular computer that
you purchased. It could also be BIOS locked so that it can only be installed
on the system that it was purchased for?

Maybe someone who has tried this before will respond here.
 
Here is an update to my previous post.

From what I have learned, it appears that there are no restrictions on how
the Express Upgrade is used, so you should be OK installing it on the destop
system. Make sure that you check the compatibility of the hardware on that
system to make sure it will run Vista.
