where to buy vista?

I am going to be building my first computer soon and it will need an OS. I figure I will use vista as that is the direction that Microsoft is moving.

I want home premium.

Where is the least expensive place to buy it and are there any problems I should be aware of?

Thanks
 
If you are a student, check out MSDNAA, if you are employed, see if your eligible for the Microsoft Work At Home program.
 
With MSDNAA, I was looking at the website and it had XP for free? and it had some vista for free. Does that seem right? I am a student. The vista "free" download was 2.3GB which seems like it is near the right size. I think? What is the difference between vista business and vista home premium? Do they both have aero?

Thanks!

That is off course legal, that is where I got my Vista and XP and XP 64-bit.

Both have Aero, business doesn't have media center apps but can join domain, in a nutshell.
 
Is it a full copy of vista or is it a limited time trial, like 120 days? Sorry for all of the questions, but the potential of saving this money is pretty interesting!

Thanks
