    no. thats why it is called ultimate. Thing about ultimate is it takes up even more ram them premium rezalting in a slightly slower system. Im sure someone has probably took that game and made it download able though.

    Thirded. Not to mention that it's contrary to the license, so you're essentially asking how to circumvent the licensing of the software. If this thread goes into how you might copy the games over, it's getting locked. As long as people only post alternatives to the Ultimate goodies that are legally acquirable, there's no problem. Just wanted to head that off at the pass ;)

    Fourthed. I have Ultimate, takes about 890 MB RAM on boot up, 1.1 GB RAM idle after some usage.

    If Ultimate takes up more RAM than Home Premium, then I assume Business takes up more RAM than HP, too?
