    Hi everybody,

    I don’t know if I can say that “I lost”, because I purchased my SZ340 after the 03/31 :)
    Is more adequate say that “I didn’t know that I’m purchasing after the date”!

    I want upgrade to Vista.

    I saw a few people selling Vaio Vista Upgrade (like eBay). They clamming prefer keep running XP and, because of that, never used the Upgrade disk. Most are clamming that the upgrade still sealed and never was activated.
    Mine SZ340 come with XP Professional. So, the logical (and right) upgrade should be to Vista Business. If I purchase a Vista Business Express Upgrade, never used, will work with my SZ340? :confused:

    Thanks in advance!

    As a counter-point, the Vista upgrade process was super-easy for me. I'm very happy living in the vista-world --- even if the OS isn't as familiar to me, or as optimized as XP is.

    As for the OP's concerns, I have no idea. ;)
