Windows Vista What is the Difference between "Old" and "New" version ?

[Brian Weber]

On Windows Vista Home Basic Upgrade there is an Old version item Number:
66G-00003. And then they have come out with a New version: 66G-00020. I
ordered the new version and received the Old version, I am wondering what I
missed by not getting 66G-00020. I have looked and can not find any
information regarding the difference.
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely, Brian W.

Maybe the new version has SP1?

I think the "new" version contains SP1.

I think you could have figured it out for yourself and not have
bothered anyone.

66G-0003 is Home Basic Upgrade: it requires a qualifying version of
the OS to use and thus costs less to buy.

There is no 66G-00020 - did you mean 66G-0002? That's the full Home
Basic, not the Upgrade. It costs quite a bit more.

Just buy the one you want (probably the cheapest one from all
appearances) and Windows Update will take care of the rest.
