Microsoft to end digital downloads for Vista upgrades | |

| Time: 14:56 EST/19:56 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft is revising a program that allows Windows Vista customers to upgrade from a basic version of its OS to one of the premium editions. The program, called Windows Anytime Upgrade, was designed to make it easier for customers to upgrade to a more expensive version of Vista by allowing them to purchase a digital "product key" and download it from the Web. At the time that they purchased their OSes, customers received a DVD containing several versions of Windows Vista, including the premium editions. Downloading the new product key allowed them to unlock a higher-end version from the disc. | ||

| I'll be honest, I am still surprised the anytime upgrade feature EVER existed. The retailers were effectively being cut out of the upgrade $. Kudos to MSFT for somehow holding off the retailers for even a year. |
