upgrade to vista

You can buy the upgrade DVD (this is the DVD only but you also need to
pay for the serial number) from here:

https://emea.windowsanytimeupgradestore.com/WAU_DIRECT/Purchase.aspx

It will cost you Euros 3.57 (USD 4.75; GBP 2.4

I am sure you can buy from the US as well.

Here is a list of the features in all the additions of Vista.

This link can also be useful. If you want to know in what version of Vista
a feature is supported, then search on that feature here:
