| 599758 | 2007-10-10 00:24:00 | Ok I have finally convinced she who holds the purse strings to let me get Vista Now i want Vista Business Full version and haveing a look at NZ sites it is about $730 however if i look at it on Amazon it is around $280 us which equates to about $360 nz I know I have posted on this before but today I was actually in a position to buy it, unfortunately Amazon won't ship Vista to NZ we have puchased other items and they have been shipped no worries, but it will not let me ship vista So 1) where is the cheapest place in NZ to get a legitimate version of vista 2) Is it just Amazon blocking the sale or is it Microsoft doing something? |

Most of the Microsoft software you buy in NZ will have stamped on it "Not for sale outside of the Asia Pacific Region". In terms of where you can get it cheapest, you should try and get an OEM copy from somewhere that is willing to sell it with a mouse, or something along those lines. |

| 599761 | 2007-10-10 00:38:00 | What OS do you currently have. Going by the reports on vista I am sure in no rush to get it, XP will be fine for me for a while yet. | Bantu (52) | ||

What are you doing that requires Vista Business Full that one of the "lesser" versions of Vista can't do? |

| 599767 | 2007-10-10 02:11:00 | An OEM version is my last resort as I will probably be slowly upgrading my system over the next few years a full version seems a damn site more logical if i do a motherboard/processor upgrade especially if I go from a 32 to 64 bit cpu, but that will be next year well and truley As for upgrade I don't even want to go into why not, needless to say it is not an option at this time |
