I was just wondering the differences between the 2. I just need it to run XP occasionally.
Oh yeah the version I have is 6 from connectix. I heard that it's a big hassle to update through Micro. So I just wanted to know.

They haven't upgraded a thing.
All it really does is stop people like me from using 'hacked' cerials numbers.

I'm not paying money to upgrade from VPC 5 to VPC 6 (after M$ bought it of cource). The upgrade is like 16 mb ;-). If i wasn't a studnet I might have bought VPC 6.

(I have bought VPC 3, and VPC 5)

The "upgrade" also resets the XP activation.

Don't do it.
