Upgrade from Vista Ultimate (32 bit version) to 64 bit version?

[XS11E]

Man i totally agree, this is a rip off. I bought a custom made
computer online and i found out that they dont offer the 64 bit
cd. The company i bough from told me i would have to buy the 64
bit cd seperately. This is a total waste of time, i think
microsoft should have cd's for people like me where i'm stuck
buying a new cd and wasting more money.

Why are you blaming Microsoft for your own failure to find out what you
were buying BEFORE you bought it?

I suppose you bought your car w/o asking if it had an engine?

Canada Goose replies: If I may speak to a degree on Christopher's part, I
suggest we the customers did check out the engine, but through the sales hype
of both Microsoft and the Manufacturers-Vendors as, at that point, the
computers where not ours to inspect.

When I bought my latest computer I was well aware that it was a 32-bit
system on a 64-bit processor but, at the high-end price I paid for
pre-installed Vista Ultimate, I only assumed it would come with a 64-bit
system in the box to act interchangeably with the 32-bit (as on different
partitions). After all, Vista Ultimate software, alone, was coming out (and
still does) with both 32/64 bit systems packaged together and sold separately
from the pre-install version.

XS11E, only you and Microsoft (collecting a royalty on the manufacturers'
and vendors' double-take) seem so unaware of such deceptive undertakings. I
wonder why?

I say Microsoft has set itself up again for another law suit and justifiable
so.

Only you and Microsoft (collecting a royalty from the vendors'-manufacturers'
double-take on their customers) seem only too unaware of these deceptive
undertakings, XS11E.

I smell Microsoft setting itself up again for yet another law suit.

You assumed but didn't check?

Nothing deceptive, you KNEW it came with 32 bit Vista, had you checked
you would have known that OEM versions do NOT include both 32 and 64
bit vesions.

You didn't check and now you want to blame someone else for your
mistake of course. You couldn't possibly admit you'd made a mistake,
could you? Grow up, admit you screwed up amd live with it or continue
your whining if that's what helps you feel better.

I was honest enough to admit I assumed and I would futher assume that makes
me "grown up". You and ones like you, XS11E, are the trouble in America these
days (north and south). You definitely give the impression of those who will
work his/her brain wicked to sell someone a car with a motor that runs
perfectly but in reality.. only in one gear.

I said assumed as any other normal person would in light of all of the new
product sales hype. We are all not jailbird contrivers in this system. After
just seeing the movie "Sicko", next stop for Michael Moore and his film crew
should be Bill Gates office, because his recent practices appear to merit
it.. and, you know, I used to be his greatest fan. Too bad.

This is expensive and high technology, well-worth whining about, and the
last thing a decent (if it still is) company wants (and I WOULD ASSUME) is to
be seen as an oil-snake enterprise, right? At least, that's the way America
use to run.

A fair deal is a fair deal. We don't need all of the BLOUT and bull***t. We
need DISKS!
