  Microsoft to end digital downloads for Vista upgrades
Time: 14:56 EST/19:56 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft is revising a program that allows Windows Vista customers to upgrade from a basic version of its OS to one of the premium editions.

The program, called Windows Anytime Upgrade, was designed to make it easier for customers to upgrade to a more expensive version of Vista by allowing them to purchase a digital "product key" and download it from the Web.

At the time that they purchased their OSes, customers received a DVD containing several versions of Windows Vista, including the premium editions. Downloading the new product key allowed them to unlock a higher-end version from the disc.

I'll be honest, I am still surprised the anytime upgrade feature EVER existed. The retailers were effectively being cut out of the upgrade $. Kudos to MSFT for somehow holding off the retailers for even a year.
