Frequently Asked QuestionFrequently Asked Question
Q: Why can’t I buy Windows Vista Business as a full license?
A: Microsoft restricts volume licensing programs to only operating system upgrade products, and the prior operating system must be considered "qualifying". If you need the full system product, you will have to buy it commercially.
