理論上美國那個也應該叫升級版，問題是盒子上完全沒有寫Upgrade...
而且安裝過程也不會檢查上代OS或上代序號, so...
:flash: :jolin: :rolleyes:

呃...Best Buy的網頁上產品名稱改了...現在變成Windows 8 Professional Upgrade

另外留言區有些不滿的聲音：

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: This product is an upgrade!
Nowhere on this product packaging does it indicate that this IS an upgrade and not a full retail version. I found out after installing a clean install using Parallels on my MBP and the product wouldn't activate. Called Microsoft support to active this product over the phone, was informed that you cannot active this product unless it is installed over a Windows 7 installation.
I'm p*ssed; I expected a full retail version when I placed this order.

What's great about it: Inexpensive way to upgrade Vista/XP machines
What's not so great: Not the Full version
I was informed this was a full version. There was nothing about this product description that indicated that it was an upgrade and therefore I will not be keeping it.
On a side note, I have been using Win 8 RP for sometime. While there are some hardware issues, a lot can be worked through though. If you get a SSD drive for your primary drive and use this OS you will be amazed by the speed this OS operates at. Windows 8 gets closer to OS X in that it can run many more programs without crashing the system. I ran Win 8 RP on my test bed AMD 9500 and I could open nearly every program at one time without issues. Try that in Vista and you'll be unplugging it just to get it to work again. When Best Buy begins offering the System Builder Version I would suggest it as it will greatly enhance your experience.

真的是這樣的話我會想請朋友幫我在美國買一套回來耶
反正要的就是那組序號，中文版光碟ISO檔再另外找就好(微軟官網有得下載嗎?之前Win7有)

在台灣雖然也可以用差不多價錢買升級版，但一想到還要多一道步驟改成正式版就懶...

那個請看上面編輯之後的新內容...
Best Buy網頁內容變了...

但是目前我裝英文版套用繁體套件
有些中文程式會有漏字的狀況發生喔...而且字體感覺比較難看
這幾天來裝看看MSDN繁中試試.

嗯...那再觀望一下後續發展好了 :flash:


如果用MSDN裝升級版的序號還是要檢查上一代的OS或序號嗎?

如果空機安裝無法activate的話似乎也就沒有購買的意義了... :jolin: :flash:
希望個案只是因為透過虛擬系統安裝在Mac上產生的問題... :laugh:

台灣不是也有賣 NT$24XX
升級版也是可全新安裝不綁機
前提是要原正版OS...

我禮拜六也遇到同樣問題
系統也沒說是什麼
我想說 MS 什麼時候那麼好心了

我不太了解這是在比什麼?
比兩個OS可掛載的虛擬機器效能還是W8和W7的XP Mod效能比較 :confused:
單看數據戶有優劣，但W8輸的部分已經不是誤差容許範圍了，差了百倍千倍是怎樣 :jolin:

所以這個Upgrade版是真的可以不用管前代直接當正式版用嗎? :confused:
