yeah well i don't hate vista much either. actually from what i've used it so far its not bad.
for one thing i kept hearing it take 900mb ram on a virgin install. so freaking not true. it pretty good actually. looks pretty and the dpi scaling thing is awesome. i like to sit away from the monitor and larger fonts alone are making me stick with vista for now.

i was just trying to make everyone feel better.

edit.
you only get vista buisness 32. guess MS doesn't care much about 64 bit.
 
I'll have to try this tomorrow morning at work. I go in early so there might be something. I've been wanting to try Vista for awhile... just can't afford it (especially if I decide I hate it).
 
Ive been checking at different times throughout the day and the software hasnt changed. Those of you who had a chance to download Vista got a good deal!

Yea... but I thought that Microsoft would've replenished their stocks by now 🙁
 
its not just that. if any of us were round 2 contender's we'd have the software by now. they have the stock (after all long does it take to make vista keys) just that they aren't giving it to round 1 people.
 
Looks like the copy of Vista is for once you make it to the competition lvl 2 or whatever, if you check the software page when your not logged in it says "Eligibility: Round2 Round3 VIP" for Vista Business
 
so why doesn't someone just post the ISO images and we can all download them. It wont matter if we dont have the legit key from that site anyways right?
that way everyone can get the ISO images and we just need to get the serials...

yup serials (or real ones atleast) are the hard part. you get one after you complete the "Purchase".
