    Ok, so I have had my new T61p for almost a week now waiting for Comp USA to send me the "Upgrade ANytime Disk" I am about to go crazy waiting. Who knows when it will show up !

    So ... bored and just ready to finish this project I remember reading that any Vista CD has all of the versions on it. If this is true I am going to borrow a friends Vista Home CD so I can begin this anxiously awaited process.

    Can someone please confirm this ?

    Cheers !

    As long as you already have a Vista key (your own, not your friend's) then you should be able to do that. I can confirm those discs can install any version (but there is a 32bit disc and a 64bit disc so check your 'bitness').

    Thanks for the quick response Greg ! I can't wait to get started !

    I do have Vista Ultimate 32 bit preinstalled on my T61p and plan on following Stallens guide for a clean install. ;)
