Availability
Windows Anytime Upgrade for Windows Vista was available in the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Japan. Pricing varied greatly by location with those in the US and Canada paying substantially less than those in Europe. The user's location was fixed during the order process using IP address localization, and the user had no opportunity to change this during the order process. Windows users in other countries such as New Zealand and South Africa do not have access to the service. With the release of Windows 7, the Microsoft website states "Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade is no longer available. Please upgrade to Windows 7".

Famous quotes containing the word availability:
“Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
