Upgrade from home premium to ultimate?

I plan to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. Mainly for back up and file
management purposes. When I upgraded from XP several programs stopped
working and had to be reinstalled. I ran into the usual issues that people
encountered when upgrading, but nothing too catastrophic. Now that I have
Vista, will I have to endure the upgrade problems with programs, or is the
upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate have minimal impact? I assume it will
be a fairly transparent upgrade, but I wanted to hear from those who have
upgraded from from Home Premium to Vista Ultimate.
Thanks,
Dan

It's minimal -- there won't be any new compatability changes with upgrading.

You're working with computers and software. One always has problems to
endure. :-) So the best strategy is to make sure you have a tested backup
and recovery solution in place for when the inevitable challenges and
problems arise.
 
Hi I have both Vista Home Premium and Ultimate Retail full versions. I tryed
the upgrade to Ultimate just to try it and I have an ATI vedio card and
catylst control center would not work after I upgraded but it always works
from a clean install.
 
might download the latest drivers from ATI, they released some new ones just last week.
