I don't, but some might:

For the M$ lovers - this was sent to me and seems to work

Goto :
Windows Vista: Windows Anytime Upgrade: Overview

then

1. Follow the link
2. Scroll down and click on "Buy Now"
3. Select "Windows Vista Home Premium"
4. Then "Choose Windows Vista Ultimate"
5. "Do you have a Windows® Anytime Upgrade disc?" - Select "No"
6. Remove "Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate" from
your shopping basket
7. Order the Windows Vista DVD for £3.32 paying by credit card
(AmericanExpress, MasterCard, Visa)

When I tried it, the actual price came up as £4.76. I didn't go through the full ordering process.

Edit - the 4.76 was actually euros, not pounds.

I haven't actaully looked but I presume that this is just a media kit??

You can buy these off the shelf in this country for about a fiver if it is... You won't get a code though....

This ain't Vista, tis just an upgrade for people who already have a basic version:

If you already have Windows Vista but you want a more capable version, here's good news: Windows Anytime Upgrade is a convenient and affordable way to upgrade to the Windows Vista Premium or Ultimate edition

Ahh, unless you're saying there's some bug in the system which allows you to order the full version for the price of an upgrade?

Still seems to much to pay for the Sever Anal Trauma that vista will bring you
