   I think discontining this was a mistake also.  Not only might I have bought two copies of Home Premium, I might have bought Ultimate just to enable me to do it.  As of now, I'm sticking with XP and not using Vista at all, and there isn't much incentive to move to Vista at this time.

   Sam here, I have a Windows Vista Premium Ready Computer (bought Oct, 2006 laptop) Aspire 5670! That when I tried to Load Vista I found hardware Incompatabilites, Like my monitor, Audio & Video would not work! So why should I use Vista?

   Hey Sam:  we're not the best place for you to seek technical product assistance -- I'd suggest visiting the public newsgroups to look for answers there.  However, your devices are likely in need of updated drivers, so check Windows Update for new drivers from the manufacturers being released via MS, and if those are not available, then I'd suggest visiting the manufacturers' websites.  Hope this helps.

   Hi Sam... Heres a link to the Acer website

   http://secure3.tx.acer.com/VistaDownloads/AcerSeries.aspx

   you can select Aspire 5670 from the drop down menu to get updated downloads like BIOS updates and drivers.  That link is for the USA, if your in Europe, the european acer link is as follows:

   Remember to back up all your files before upgrading, Good luck.

   Ok, I will be the first to say that I loved this deal. Getting two full version keys of Home Premium for a total of $100. Blew my mind! You could easily spend close to $1000 just on those three licenses alone. And I got them for what half that. I say hell yea.

   Dont see why people are complaining about MS taking a couple hundred dollars off the price. I LOVE MS for giving us this discount.

   I did attend the Vista 2007 Lanuch Party (New Day) and did purchase two full version keys of Home Premium for a total of $100. Ha! MS only gave me keys and no phyical disk(s).

   However, I cannot get the keys to work.  I am guessing because the Vista Ultimate version I got (Launch Party) was good for 6 months.  Which version can I purchase to get these keys working.  Of course please let me know if the cheap UPGRADE or OEM will work.   Grrrr!!

    I am not that negative about Vista.  I want to upgrade to Ultimate and just didn't have the money to take advantage of the family discount before June 30.  Since then I have upped my RAM to 2 GB and all my hardware is ready to go.  

    Nick...please bring back the Vista Family Discount!
