Whilst I was away in Orlando last week (for Lotusphere 2007) a package arrived from Microsoft. Inside it was - amonst other things - a DVD containing "Microsoft Windows Vista Upgrade Business", one entitled "Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" and a third containing all the other E13 applications.

So I thought I'd check if any of the hardware I have here was capable of running Vista by checking the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor page and running the Upgrade Advisor.

Once I'd downloaded the MSI file and started to run it, this is what I saw!!!
According to the FAQ halfway down the page this is why.

Quote:

Why is the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor only available for Windows XP and Windows Vista users? The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor depends on technology that only runs on computers with these editions of Windows: All 32-bit editions of Windows XP All 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, except Enterprise edition If you own a PC running other editions of Windows, you will need to carefully compare its system capabilities to the system requirements found on this site. In general, PCs purchased within the last two years have a better chance of being able to run Windows Vista as is or with affordable improvements to the system hardware."
