Windows Vista Buzz posts (http://www.vistabuzz.com/blogs/longhorn_news/archive/2006/02/19/6825.aspx) on Windows Anytime Upgrade, a program that will allow users who have purchased one version of Vista upgrade anytime to a more expensive and feature-filled version.
 
Users purchase upgrades from a website and run the upgrade from the install disk (meaning actually having the install disk is kinda important).

Still all these versions suck but this is a good sign.

I wonder how long it'll be before people can upgrade from the shittiest of the versions to the least-shitty of the versions for free (whether legal or illegal).

This "upgrade" won't be free right ? I mean ... does this change anything besides needing a disk ?

Give em the cheap stuff.  Get them hooked.  Sell them the expensive stuff.

The first hit's free. (Or $5...)
