Alex Clayton said:Of course you can buy a copy of Vista. Now as to whether the computer you
want to put it on will run it, or run it well, is another matter.
Its a duocore 4700, 2 gigs of ram and 8600GT card. New computer.
When you say I can buy a copy, does that mean I can legally buy the much
cheaper upgrade version?

Xp Pro>Vista Home Premium is not an upgrade path

Info for you to read.
XP Pro upgrade to Vista Home Premium is NOT an upgrade Path!
Not what you did, but what you asked!

Alex Clayton said:As you found, yes you can. If there is room to add another Gig of RAM it
will run better. Vista works fine, BUT it uses a hell of a lot more memory
than XP. 2 Gig is probably about the min. This one has 3 and it does run
great, other than the learning curve of getting used to a new OS. The
advantage you have is like you said you can always go back if you wish,
but after you get used to Vista it seems to work fine for me.

Certainly. However you can not use it to upgrade from XP Professional,
only from XP Home.
You can not do that either. Unlike with XP, Vista upgrade disks don't
do clean installations.
