Versions/Licences of Vista

Pipni · 05-09-2008, 12:31 PM

Hi

Currently running XP Media Edition on a laptop, and would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, and I'm getting slightly confused on the different versions. I see OEM versions and Academic versions, cheaper than the full version, and I can't find anywhere the limitations/conditions of an OEM or Academic version. Can anyone explain please?

Thanks in advance
