Where to purchase Windows Vista in India ?

[Drewski]

hello sir
i have a new pc setup a gift on my birthday but it is loaded with windows xp and I want to install windows vista on this PC.

where can i purchase windows vista directly from microsoft in india ? i am from city mumbai

thank you.

I know nothing about where you can buy Vista in Mumbai, or even
whether you *can* buy directly from Microsoft there, but don't you
have the ability to buy Vista from online stores?

Also, before you decide to replace XP with Vista, be sure of two
things:

1. That Vista drivers are available for all your hardware.

2. That your computer has adequate hardware to run Vista. In
particular, I wouldn't recommend Vista unless you have at least 2GB of
RAM.

Microsoft does not sell Windows direct in India - you need to buy from a
retailer
see

and
http://www.microsoft.com/india/windo.../Reseller.aspx

The Microsoft India site directs straight to this site, and this is the only
upgrade version I saw available at first glance:

I suggest you visit a local authorised retailer in your city. The
estimated retail price for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition now at Rs.
4,000, Windows Vista Home Premium available for Rs. 5,300 and Windows
Vista Ultimate at Rs. 11,500.

Doesn't India have a Best Buy?
