Post subject: Do NOT download the 64 bit vista from digital locker!!!!!!!

My Tail of woe,

I downloaded vista 64 upgrade, as I accidently downloaded and installed the 32 bit version by accident (nice to see how they convienatly give you a link to THAT page... NOT!) ok, fine, so I returned it got my money back, found the link and DLed the 64 bit, and as all you guys know you get an error for it, on top of which you cant convert the DL to a bootable DVD. Not only this, I was told by Microsoft tech support that downloading the 64 bit version of Vista and trying to upgrade to Vista 64 is not possible... so basically you are spending money for nothing but about 24 hours of frustration (and sleep) although you get your money back, I am appaled by these bastards for not giving a FULL FRIGGING VERSION OF THIS NOT JUST AN UPGRADE.

The best thing is not to download, but to purchase from a retail holder,
where you bought the PC, My Vista bought from a retailer who also
installed that in my system, is working splendidly !

I prefer not to download any OS,
Operating is a software which controls your system, You must be with
most care to handle that,
All my Windows products are only through shipping,
Shipping may be a good idea for purchasing vista which wont cause you
any error !

In reply to the people who said, "buy Vista in the store." I am a
student and I paid only $65 to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I would have
to pay much more than that in the store.

What's really annoying is the fact that I ran the Vista Upgrade advisor
before installing the software, and it said that everything would
install fine.
