Hi,

I'm using Vista Premium via bootcamp. However I also want to run it
via VMWare but I've now found out that due to microsofts strange
liciencing policy the home versions of Vista can't be run under
virtualization !!!!! So I need to upgrade to Ultimate.

I either completely re-install Vista using the new Ultimate disc or I
try to upgrade.

If I want to upgrade how would I do this without causing bootcamp
problems ? Would the upgrade write over any bootcamp settings ?

Or I remove the current Vista Premium (How ?) and use bootcamp to
install the new Ultima version (how do I get it to install another
version as it thinks its already got one ?)

Thanks for any help

Steve

I had heard all you needed was Business, which might save you some
money.

I don't think it will cause you any Bootcamp problems to upgrade, but
I'm not certain of that. Alternately, copy all the data, erase and
reinstall.
