Title: Vista 30 Day Trial
Post by: trust on February 05, 2007, 05:17:57 PM
Is it possible to download Vista from somewhere official (ie not from some torrent site) so as to try out the 30 day trial?

I think someone said microsoft.com.

Vista is worth buying. I can tell you that just from the beta.

By the way, what's wrong with a torrent site?

I didnt notice @ microsoft.com just now, Googling it...


edit:
as I find, it is only available via disc if you want to trial it (or torrent).

I just want my damned upgrade disc here already!...why haven't these mother f'ers emailed me back yet!?  grr

edit#2:

I don't think it's on Microsoft just yet, my only concern with a torrent site was file integrity but I think I found a reliable upload.

And I plan on buying it, I just want to have it when I'm out of town at Presidential Classroom next week and I won't have it by then.

Friend took rent to company that owns house we rent, over heard them complaining about Vista :(???

Too bad they probably just straight up upgraded...lame.
I REFUSE to upgrade, I want a clean install on a new partition on this machine
Title: my upgrade status

:(
I just did the submission thing online (since I hadnt heard ANYTHING re: my upgrade & when I checked the status with my COA # the database found nothing).


Thank you for submitting your order to upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. It is important that you carefully follow all instructions on this confirmation email.

Also, now I have to scan my receipt & mail/fax/email that to them...I'll email it tonight.
& they say 6-8 weeks for delivery:(  Damn I'm impatient*




*which is why I downloaded the trial for it and will use that & then clean off that partition once I get MY copy in the mail.
