I'm guessing everyone has run this on their PC before buying Windows Vista.

So when you ran it what version of Vista did it tell you could run?

I ran it and it told me I could run Vista Business when I could clearly run
Ultimate. The upgrade advisor showed me that there were some programs that
were not compatible to run under Vista, ie; NIS2006. So if I uninstalled
NIS2006 and installed another AIO security suite then the upgrade advisor
would tell me that I can run Windows Vista Ultimate?

Yeah, I bought a new high powered machine and video card, 2 megs of
memory, etc, and the "advisor" said I could run Vista Home. I'm
running Ultimate.
