Difference between Vista SKU's 66R-00003 & 66R-00025 - "Service Desk Upgrade" ??

[Lance Boyle]

I ordered Vista Ultimate upgrade version 66R-00003 online and the
company sent version 66R-00025. It's marked "Service Desk Upgrade" I
couldn't find anything about it at Microsoft's site. What's the
difference? I really don't want to return it if it doesn't matter. Is
it still considered a "Retail Box" for the "Windows Vista Family
Discount" offer? I bought the retail version instead of OEM because of
the Family Discount Offer and so I could upgrade my motherboard at
some point without any activation problems.

I found this on the MS site about :

66R-00003 Windows Vista Ultimate English NA UPG DVD

66R-00025 Windows Vista Ultimate English UPG Not to Latam DVD
Retail Tech SKU

What is "Not to Latam?"

Any clues?

LATAM might stand for Not For Latin America ... but I'm guessing

A little known fact - the "Anytime Upgrade" from Microsoft has the same
reinstallation restrictions as OEM.

My favorite gameing controller for RTS games.
But it wont install on vista, and Microsoft dont support old products.

The issue.

Installation consists of 2 parts
1- software installation (runs smoothly)
2- Driver / Device setup (cant connect with software)


When i get to section 2 of the installation it seys

Plug in your usb controller - And i do
When i do that Windows Vista shows next to the clock new hardware is located
drivers are installed, but it installs it as a "HID compatable mouse" and
therefore
when i click next inside the guide, it cant find it.

Suggestions ?
