Vista Express Upgradw Question

EDIT: I spelled the title wrong: "Vista Upgrade Question"

Hello all!

I am (eventually) going to receive my Vista Express Upgrade, but I was wondering if the licenses are locked to the OEM (Acer in my case.) I got the upgrade with a laptop that had media center, so I will get home premium (free!). It will run terribly on the laptop, so I was wondering if the upgrade can be installed onto my own homemade desktop (non-Acer).

Thanks! -- I have been on order approved for like 2 weeks now, it has to ship soon!

PS: Sorry if this should be in the Acer forum.

No it's not OEM Locked I got mine a week ago, form moduslink, and even tho it says GATEWAY on the DVD, it's actually a Vista Home Premium Upgrade DVD complete with it's own Product Key, I already had Vista Ultimate, so I installed the Vista Home Premium Upgrade on a spare 3 yr old notebook I had and it installed and it works just fine...........so don't worry, it's a REAL MS VISTA UPGRADE DVD, that you will be getting
