Hi All,

So there we go - Vista, officially launched commercially.

An interesting point is that for some weeks now the 'spammers' have been hard at it offering copies of Vista at knock down prices - and even not so knock down prices.

But before you go shelling out your 'hard earned' you should be aware (according to a recent IDC study) that less than 1 in 2 of us actually receive proper licensed copies of software when buying on the net.

It's usually counterfeit, blank:eek: or non working copies doped with viruses.

We are of course talking software piracy!

In response, the BSA in Ireland have come up with for buying software online.
