Now if someone could tell me the main difference between Ultimate and business that would be great. I was going to order Technet later this week but if there isnt that much of a difference then Ill stick with the free biz. thanks

Differences between Ultimate and Business is that with Business you do not get Windows Media Center and Windows Photo Gallery both of which you do get with Ultimate.

yeah prob u will be able to upgrade. cost ~259$ usd

you're not serious right?

Vista Business (full edition) costs $299, Vista Ultimate (full edition) costs $399.

...therefore, I would assume the upgrade cost would be just about $100.

We shall see for sure though.

actually that makes a lot of sense. except i thought that ultimate was $499? or im just getting confused.

i remember that the pricing for upgrading was posted on neowin, most prob on front page. i cant seem to find it anywhere. but i was almost sure that business to ultimate costs $259.

im missing some features in the free Business like MediaCenter and DVDMaker. I actually prefer my system to be clean without the need of built in rubbish. The only thing im going to really miss is media center. Ive always wonder that XPMediaCenter is different from XPPro/Home how? Only with a missely new skin, (which was backported) and just a new media player, hence MediaCenter and a hefty additional pricetag. So isn?t it possible to backport MediaCenter to previous versions, in this case from Ultimate to Business? There must be a folder or file somewhere around System32 that contains these files. How come everything else has been ported except for this? When media center fox p came out Ive always waited for a release like this but none came out?Currently free MediaPortal is good but is choppy, requires a lot of ram and crashes a lot. Any comments is appreciated. Thx.

No. Mediacenter is built into the OS. I am willing to bet that MS modified the kernel at least a little bit. Probably to make the system files only able to run on WinXPMCE. Believe me, I've looked. They want you to buy MCE. Not get a port of it. They lose money on having you buy just the media center software. That's not actually worth that much. It's similar to stores wanting you to buy bundles for the Wii. And not just selling the Wii and the games separately. They stand to make more money. Now, they lower the price of the bundle just so you buy it. If you buy it, they can guarantee that much more revenue. That is to say, they can't force you to buy five separate games. But if they're in a bundle, it's a different story. Catch my drift?

It would make sense the WMC could be built into the Business OS especially for those advertising and media companies that are heavy into graphic design and all that **** that would be enticed and want to upgrade, it would already be onto their OS, just need to unlock it! I'm probably way off here though.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
