You can purchase the edition of Windows Vista you are interested in at a Microsoft authorized merchant.” Now I tried this option and find that Windows Anytime Upgrade is not supported for INDIA! Hell… Microsoft has posted a note, “If you are asked to select your country /region and your country /region is not listed, then Windows Anytime Upgrade is not available in your country /region at this time. (IIS is not available in the Home Basic edition for use as a web server.) There is a “Windows Anytime Upgrade” feature in Vista to upgrade the version online, without loosing any computer settings and data by download the upgrade software online. It is slower than Windows XP, even with 1GB RAM.Īfter using it for a while, I now decided to upgrade to Windows Vista, especially to get working version of IIS 7 (Internet Information Server). If you ask me whether I like Vista, Yes for it’s security features and No for it’s slowness. Recently I bought a new laptop pre-loaded with Windows Vista Home Basic edition.
