I'm not seeing any reservation option.

I've seen that "business users" are not getting this option, but I don't know how Windows determines if you're a business user or not. My computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate English x64 on a normal home computer and home network.

Spoiler:

edit: There it is; the reservation icon popped up while I was typing this post. Had to happen to me, didn't it?

I wonder how many millions of people are going to actually overlook this icon

And I wonder how many millions expect a 'normal' (SP-like) update and then get scared into oblivion when their entire OS changes in a few months

Also, there will probably be a lot of people who will mistrust this icon/dialog, thinking it is spam, adware, or some sort of malware, trying to trick them into something bad...

I then got the opportunity to ALL Windows upgrade versions for a very low price, because of an IT-study I was doing, provided I already had a legal edition to upgrade from. However, I could only get each version once. So, for upgrading two Vista Business editions, I had to get Windows 7 Professional for one, and Windows 7 Ultimate for the other.) edit: There it is; the reservation icon popped up while I was typing this post.
