is there anywhere else that's legitimate and cheaper to get a copy?

Why would you want Vista at all? It's a lemon of an OS.

I have Vista Premium on my home PC which is always on and its been great. Certainly a lot less issues than I had using XP when it first came out. All of my old hardware and software works prefectly, games run just fine. I won't be going back to XP thats for sure.

Personally I'd stick to reputable sellers for something like this, but then you pays your money . . .

Mine was a free upgrade from XP MCE, so it wasn't an issue.

Got Vista Business on my machine (cosha version too!! )

Installed perfectly, found all the updates too. Works a treat.

Love it (and that's coming from a die-hard Mac user )
