Price on Anytime Upgrade

I have Windows Vista Business 64-bit slovak OEM which cost me 3 750 Sk = 118
Euro
I wont to upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit slovak OEM with Anytime
Upgrade, which said it will cost me 149 Euro. It is insane, because NEW
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit slovak OEM cost 5 100 Sk = 159 Euro. Rather I
buy new Vista Ultimate.
In that case I will newer upgrade to Ultimate, because I am a student and
every Euro counts. I wish that, there was reasonable price.
Is there any other way? Am I wrong?

What do you want from Ultimate though? BitLocker?

I think it's unlikely you will want the Media Centre on a laptop, unless you
are going to use an external USB TV card.

And there are much better alternatives to the Picture Gallery.

I have IFL90 notebook and TV card with wery nice TV remote, which somehow
works only with Win Media center probably (has nice green button...). I have
problems to make my TV card works and so I am unable to use this remote.
I think, if I have Win V. Ultimate, remote will works, maybe whith all other
things. Forexample for music I use Winamp, but I will migrate from Winamp to
windows music software If I will be able to use my remote (It is RC6 infrared
remote). Afterwards there are two porblems:
1. My TV card does not work.
2. I cannot fix problem with my remote. I tried different kinds of software,
but nothing works for me.
