cheapest way to get vista October 18, 2008
Desbo (CA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the cheapest way to get vista that I know of. However, of course it has all the faults that microsoft is famous for. Buy a mac and make your life easier. br / br /Not sure if the developers version installs easily on a barebones pc, but it installed without trouble on a second partition on a macbook. In that situation at least it is not worth buying the non-developers version br / br /I give it five out of five for price, and 1 out of five because its vista, making three out of five overall.
