Obtain Windows Vista through a free copy?

I will pay for them. Not sure when I will get it though. Just waiting to make sure all the bugs are worked out of it.

Woow WIndows Vista.. what a hot subject i can say. I have talked a lot in my area with many of my friends and all of them had only positive thoughts about it. I can say that i was blow off by this new windows system. Some things certainly lack to it but this new look which Microsoft has incorporated in it certainly do the money you would give for it. I have waited this new system for 2 weeks and here i am using it. It was pretty hard for me to buy it because in my area it can't be found. So i had to ask a friend from another part of my country to order me. I am so happy using it and all i have are only words of gratitdue. I post here a short description about VISTA. Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework out of the box. The .Net Framework makes it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API.

Something like that you can't afford the free copy. I wouldn't trust the source if it was free. I would pay for it myself, from microsoft. However in saying that, I wouln't get vista because my system isn't big enough to handle it. I don't have enough memory as it is. Now if my brother has it and brought me over a copy that would be different. I would trust getting it from him.

Personally I have no real need or desire for Vista as it would not run some of my programs and games. Win Xp is good enough for me, not to mention that I usually let a new OS mature enough before I use it in order for all the drivers to be compatible with the hardware. Finally, I always purchase my software. I don't want people stealing from me, and I sure don't intend to steal from anyone else either.

I don't think I will get then and I am going to stick with windows XP. I have heard so much about vivista.

I haven't heard of anyone who has come across a working illegal copy of Vista. I think as they release newer versions of Windows they are going to be hard to get ahold of illegally. And if you do get a copy the chances of being able to get updates will be very low.
