Sorry for being OT, but I can't find the Vista newsgroup in the Google
Groups hierarchies. Does it exist?

I'm wanting to ask a question about upgrading between the various
versions of Vista and whether that is cost-effective.

I'm looking at getting a new PC and if I get is with Either Vista
Ultimate or Business, I can get a downgrade license to run Windows XP
on it. So the cheapest is to get Business, but if, in the longer term
I decide to run Vista, then I might want the phot stuff thats in
Ultimate.

I think the upgrade cost on the MS Vista home site is something like
$139, whereas the incremental cost in the OEM pre-install between
Business and Ultimate is merely $59.

What are the odds that XP will fall out of favor or that Vista will
become the defacto OS before Win 7 is released?

And it's on Google Groups as well as 'the correct method of access' - via a newsreader e.g. Microsoft Outlook Express.
