Default A legal Copy of Vista to download ???
I have a legit key for Vista

Where could I download the 64bit Vista OS from ??

All the torrents etc have been "fixed" to not require keys !

I want a clean copy !

Binary Newsgroups will have it....


Yup - just checked... 64 days ago:

Starting with "en_windows_vista_with_service_pack_1_x64_dvd_ x14-29595.part01.rar" - it's in alt.binaries.boneless

Full DVD with SP1 slipstreamed by the look of it.

I certainly wouldnt trust a Vista Slipstreamed Service Pack 1 from 64 days ago

The first release that Microsoft did of SP 1 for Vista got pulled very very quickly, and only became available about 15 days ago

Will be higher than if somebody lives near to him.

No postage vs postage from France = higher

Look I was only pointing out you can copy an original disc and offering to send him one (at my own expense) if he couldn't get one.

I wasn't been tight or complaining at the cost of postage just no point sending it all that way if he can get one locally.
