Download Vista?
 

Anybody downloaded Vista from the Windows Marketplace?
Thinking of downloading Vista Home Premium $159 and wondered if there were any issues i should know about.

Also will this install over the top of XP64bit as i can find no info on the Windows site.

isnt it cheaper to buy oem?

Not sure tbh mate,i think $159 works out to about £80 give or take a few quid.

I should imagine your much better off with it on disk anyway.

Do you think it's worth looking on Ebay or not ?

Don't you have you purchase an integral part of a PC system with OEM versions?

Dunno ive never bought one on its own. The theory is you do but ive never followed it through. Buy it off ebuyer or aria and buy a 80 gig hdd with the os and with the 10 quid off if you use google checkout it will still be cheaper

Bear in mind that with ebay, you have no real way of knowing if you are buying a geniune copy, so you may get problems installing it, activating it (which must be done within the first 30 days) and getting updates/support for it.

Well I was thinking a heat sink is an integral part of a PC and only costs a couple of quid ;)
