As long as you're getting one for Warrior, Rabit, and Ergot...  :-*

I've tried messing around with it on VMWare and its just too slow to use it for anything.

You'll have to allocate it 512MB of ram and possible turn Aero Basic or Classic Mode on.
I know, I gave it a gig and was using Classic the whole time, it works and all but not responsive/fast enough for me to actually test it with normal activities.

That's odd. What build were you using? Beta2? RC1? RC2?
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

What's neat about using VMWare or Virtual Server to run Vista is that, if I connected to it with Remote Desktop from a computer running Vista that supported Aero, the Aero effects would be visible even though the virtual machine didn't have the hardware.  :)

You can use one key for like 10 people, share with your ten bestest friends from x86.
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.  I can use one key for 10 activations.  Since I have at least two computers that will be using it with a possible third coming soon, I don't want to jump the gun by giving out my activation keys for Vista.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Unlimited switching from hardware to hardware. Eg. it will no longer make you reauthenticate when you switch Mobos.

I hate calling them to explain that I switched hardware.
