Let’s face it, upgrading to Windows Vista is too expensive for most of us mere mortals, with the top-of-the-range Vista Ultimate weighing in at a whopping $379. For that kind of money you can buy an 80GB iPod.
Luckily there is a cheaper way to get your hands on a copy of Windows Vista that is totally legit. Microsoft sell what they call System Builder versions of Vista that are aimed at PC manufacturers, and also at people who are building their own PCs. The sweet part is you don’t need to actually build a PC to get your hands on a System Builder copy, which could save you between $100 and $180 depending on which version of Vista you plump for.
Where’s the catch? Well, you don’t get a manual and you won’t receive any support from Microsoft. I don’t think this is a bad thing because if you do get into a muddle there are thousands of forums where one post will get you access to better technical support than you would probably get from Microsoft!
