Real copy of Vista?

For $200... if that's 100% legit, that's one hell of a deal.

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.

So? If it comes with a key, and it comes with the disc, that's half off its retail price of $400.

I'm saying that's why it's so cheap, there is no box or manuals and stuff.

Vista runs fine on a 32-bit processor, from first-hand experience.

I haven't used it myself on 64-bit but I hear it still doesn't work right.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I haven't run into much on Vista x64 that doesn't work on Vista x86.

You're saying that anything x64 can do, x32 can do also, or were you saying that x64 works fine?

.........?
1) I'd have to have a pirated XP installed to update it
2) I bought my computer within the timeline where they're supposed to send out Vista to you for free

Not having run x64 myself, I've heard some pretty recent bad things from it. Although I can't say they are the smartest of sources (Paul Thurrot)

I've heard bad things about XP for x64.  I have a friend who popped Vista x64 on and whenever Nvidia gets graphics drivers out for my 8800 GTX I'll be upgrading to Vista on this one, too.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.
