No, Windows never comes with Microsoft Office Packet. This is two different products and you need two separate licenses for them.
First, Microsoft does not have a "Home Basic" edition of Windows 7 (Home Basic was one of the Vista editions). The most basic edition of Windows 7 is called "Windows 7 Starter" and is only available (at least in the US) on certain small "netbook"-type computers, which may be a bit underpowered for the Home Premium edition. (Note that I'm not saying that any particular one is, just that it's possible.)That said, Windows 7 has a feature called "Windows Anytime Upgrade" that allows you to go from a "lower" edition of Windows 7 (such as Starter) to a "higher" edition (such as Home Premium). The cost is around $80 for the Starter to Home Premium upgrade directly from Microsoft; you may be able to get it for slightly less from retailers such as Amazon.com.If you actually have Windows Vista Home Basic, the upgrade price to Windows 7 Home Premium (again, directly from Microsoft) is about $120.
first upgrade to win7 home premium and then use anytime upgrade to ultimate! that was easy....
Upgrade implies that you have to have a copy of Vista home premium in order to install upgrade. Full version is comprehensive and does not require you to have any OS in advance.
