November 1, 200619 yr Well, if anywhere i'd buy it from http://www.newegg.com as OEM but that's because i built my computer. Still, i'm sure their retail version would be lless expensive (bestbuy, circuit city, alot of those are just ripoffs) This is once it's actually out :-) I wouldnt upgrade to vista right away when it comes out unless you dont already have xp. As for the beta versions I'd imagine the microsoft sites (http://www.microsoft.com) but am not sure if the betas havn't expired
November 1, 200619 yr A Beta is avaliable on the official Windows website beware it is a Beta, and Microsofr have a reputation for not getting things right the first time. drivers for a lot of different softwares arent avaliable yet, but if you really want it, get it from there this new OS could overwrite your XP etc, so have a backup, or a spare harddrive you can put it on, OR split your harddrive in two, some free software can do this. 80+ combat?join The Legacy today!http://z3.invisionfree.com/TL___The_Leg ... hp?act=idx
November 1, 200619 yr RC1 is still on the website but there is not much point since the RTM is being compiled in a few days... If you do get the RC1 then it will expire on June 1st 2007. BETA keys will work on all vista builds from 5308 to RC2. If you want the final product key then I can't give that away...(M$ policy)

Very true! Vista has heaps of bugs and such on it and alot of it is really screwed so I'd just stick with Xp until its released. :wink:
