Re: Just upgraded to Vista Ultimate - MS Action Pack

[Mal Lansell <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd also like to hear from anyone who has installed the Home Premium
edition.  The reason is that I have a domain on my home network, and
Home Premium supposedly cannot connect to a domain.
However, the same was said of XP Media Center Edition, except that you
*could* set up the domain connection if you did it during installation
(but you couldn't go back and do it).  I'm hoping that the same is true
of Vista.  After taking a look at the pricing (why is the OEM version
half the price of the upgrade?!), I feel that Vista is way overpriced as
it is, without having to go all the way up to the Ultimate edition.
