[dba-Tech] [dba-OT] Vista Ultimate

Well, it finished, said the upgrade failed, didn't say why, restored Vista
Home Basic.  I have no idea why.

Good luck with it. I had the SP1 update fail a few times on me after getting
all the way through to saying it was 100% complete but then something went
back and it had to restore it to preupdate status which took another hour.
It's the trying to preserve your stuff that maybe takes it that long. If you
had just loaded from scratch it would have probably been a lot faster. And
the SEVERAL HOURS estimate is maybe a worst case possiblity in case you had
less than speedy hardware.
