    I am going to purchase a vista upgrade online, but I don't want to buy the
    academic version by mistake. Some sellers say academic or non-academic, but
    some don't mention it. Can I tell from a picture of the package? (vista
    home premium)

    How will you know that the picture is correct?

    If you are in doubt of what you are buying, you are buying from the wrong
    source.

    I didn't think there WAS an "academic" licence for Vista - I have never seen
    one. OFFICE now, is a different matter.

    You're confused, no such thing as Academic Vista, unless you buy form your
    college shop?

    Just goto ZipZoomFly.com, TigerDirect.com, or Ecost.com

    ZipZoomFly sells OEM (no box o manual) bare DVD's, looks cheap but here's a
    catch:
    To legally buy OEM disk you need to also buy a piece of hardware, but you
    might in fact need a piece of hardware anyway, I've been using ZipZoomFly
    since MANY year sago when they were known as "GoogleGear.com", until Google
    slapped them with a lawsuit for trademark violation.
