Hi,

I'm not an IT professional so forgive me for asking this question.

Will Vista be available as an upgrade from MCE 2005 or will it only be sold
with new hardware like all versions of MCE to-date?

Many thanks,

Dan
 
Yes there will be an upgrade path (but as always, anything is subject to
change), the Editions of Windows Vista that will support upgrading from
Windows XP MCE 2005 include Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista
Ultimate, I wrote a small article about this, you might want to check it
out, I am afraid you won't be able to upgrade to Home Premium x64 and
Ultimate x64 from XP MCE 2005 since that is a x86 operating system.

Many thanks Andre.

Do we know what the release date is yet for Vista - I heard it could be as
late as Jan 07 for release in the UK?

Thanks again,

Dan
 
Hmmm.... it is more likely that "N" Editions will take an extra few months,
and as with other major OS releases, it does only seem that we get the
release after about 3 months of RTM so yeh, could be a little longer for us
