517063 2007-01-18 02:36:00 Here's another one... Vista sucks. It sucked from it's inception and it'll suck until the day it dies. And thanks big time for the offer to add links. I didn't know it was open season.

Well gee Greg. I guess I mustn't have expressed myself too clearly above. Gotta apologise for being such a poor comunnicator I guess.

So let's try that again. If you aren't interested in the thread topic - which contrary to the poor comprehension skills of some people is NOT "Isn't Vista Wonderful" or it's companion "Wow Vista Sucks" - then why not just do everyone a failure and not post, thus letting those who are interested have a meaningful dialogue without having to content with the scattershot venom of those who who can't see the word "Vista" without getting a serious rush of blood going from the brain to the fingers.

517064 2007-01-18 02:45:00 The only things I want Vista for is the cool memory thing that watches my PC-using behaviour and record it into the memory and the Aero interface and new themes.

But obviously that is not worth $500+, so I'll just wait for when an opportunity arise......

517065 2007-01-18 03:01:00 Now after all those replies I have't seen an answer to the original question.

What's the price for Vista OEM?????

517066 2007-01-18 03:20:00 Jack:
It depends on what version of the product you're after, Ultimate? Business? Home?

Its priced quite reasonably by comparison to the current XP OEM prices around...

Put up or Shut up.

Actually I was just comparing it to XP which seems perfectly suitable doing what it does now, but I am not back to hi-jack the post.

517070 2007-01-18 08:14:00 Here's the question though... How long after Vista is released will we still be able to buy XP OEM versions? Should I be stocking up now? CYaBro (73)
517071 2007-01-18 08:15:00 If any of you are tertiary students at an approved institute, studying courses in a department which is enrolled in the MSDNAA programme (www.microsoft.com), you are eligible for a FREE, legal copy of Windows Vista Business, for non-commercial purposes (which you may continue using even after you leave the tertiary institution, provided it is for non-commercial purposes). somebody (208)
517072 2007-01-18 11:07:00 Just out of interest, has anyone actually tried getting one? Does it only take an e-mail to them to ask for a copy and they'll send one to you!? techie (7177)
