Someone out there must have a proper answer to save your programs as you
move between Home Premium to Business. Is there a way around having to loose
all programs that I have just finished installing ?
Somehow - as a developer - telling someone to delete all your stuff and
re-install it so I can just upgrade Vista to another version of Vista is
totally not cool. I need the Virtual PC ability.
Re: Upgrade to Vista Business from Vista Home Premium
There is no "upgrade" path from Windows Vista Home Premium
to Windows Vista Business edition. If you actually want to upgrade
to the next level, then choose the upgrade version of Vista Ultimate.

Re: Upgrade to Vista Business from Vista Home Premium
Thanks for the info - so does ULTIMATE allow for an upgrade from Home version
and also allows Virtual PC to run?
I find this whole Vista plan not a plan at all - its really random.

Re: Upgrade to Vista Business from Vista Home Premium
Virtual PC runs fine on Home Premium, it's just not supported by MS.....

Re: Upgrade to Vista Business from Vista Home Premium
Thanks for the help.
I am gong to try Virtual PC 2004 OR 2007 which ever works - this may be my
workaround right now.
