Vista - Identifying territory by part number

Bane · 12 May 2008 at 17:56

Anyone know of a list that states intended territory for Windows Vista retail packs. Looking at Ultimate auctions, for example, Britian has 66R-00020 for pre-SP1.

Also would like to know if accademic, etc. versions have the same part number.

Was looking at an auction site.

Got my vista ultimate from the states, saved a fortune, Retail, all legit. made me a happy chappy.

What part number is on the box of a US version?

I probably won't risk eBay, but seeing how retail Ultimate can go for less than retail Home Premium it's mighty tempting.

Looking at This Week Only offers I'm not considering eBay now.

Trying to decided between Home Premium with £8ish extra for 64 bit media, or go full out for Ultimate.

After receiving a retail version from OcUK, I'm glad I paid the extra for a store sourced version.

The security tabs that auctions rave on above is an easy to replace sticky plastic label. The red grab on the top isn't a seal, but a grab hold to open the box.

Not seen any auctions mention the shrink wrap cover, but I wouldn't count that as guarantee of it never being opened.
