Cheap Copy of Windows Vista
Hey guys. I'm looking for a cheap copy of Windows Vista. Can be a  CD rom but needs to come with a CD key that can be activated legally so I can receive updates and such. Is this possible if I want to pay only £10-£15? I don't want to buy the *official* version, it seems like a rip off.

Vista premium costs £120, yet you expect to pick up a copy for £15? It's not gonna happen. If you want it, you're gonna have to pirate it.

Autobots, roll out.
If Kanye can steal the mic, is Taylor actually Swift?

I might still buy the official version. Does seem a bit on the expensive side though.

In my opinion its way overpriced but if you want it then you gotta pay for it I'm afraid. I've actually started thinking about giving Linux a try. I dabbled with Ubuntu a few years ago and wanted to hang myself but I'm sure there are things you can do to make it more compatible with windows games and stuff by now.

I already have XP installed. It's just that I'm thinking of upgrading my computer soon and if I'm going to do that I'd like a new OS to make it seem newer.
I can live with XP though.
