    hello, I have a question about the sticker under my laptop with the serial number. I have Windows vista home premium(looked in control panel), but when I look at the sticker it reads "Windows vista ultimate OEMact" Did they just stick the wrong sticker ???

    My reinstall CDs are all home premium.

    I think they just put the wrong sticker there yes; Dell notebooks, that sticker is just to show your copy is authentic. The key is held within the BIOS, so when re-installing from the installation media you don't need to enter a key anyway.
