Ehlo Curious,
Well, one of the options I want most is the ability to install Language Packs. My Vista Home Premium is in Hebrew (installed particularly so I could upgrade to Ultimate, as my DVD comes with Hebrew installation).
BitLocker would be nice too. Nothing to fancy on my laptop, but I had already one stolen before, and wouldn't want my info falling into enemy's hands easily :)

Hey, all
I am having certain problem upgrading my Vista.
About two years ago I bought Windows Vista Ultimate x32 disc to
upgrade my older laptop. However, back then... Well, Vista was far
from perfect back then, no SP1... So I put it in a drawer.
Now I bought a new HP laptop, boasting Vista Home Premium SP1. Thanks
to Service Pack 1, Vista finally reached the level I can use it, so I
thought of upgrading Vista to Ultimate. Unfortunately, the Setup
would not allow me to upgrade, saying the version on the laptop is
newer than the DVD installation (laptop has SP1, DVD not).
Now, question, what should I do? Was buying Ultimate just a waste of
money? How do I go about upgrading it now? I tried to see if I can
uninstall Service Pack 1, however, the OS came with SP1 built-in,
thus I cannot uninstall it.
Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
