    i'd be very surprised if that was the case, i reckon they went for a flat fee.

    I've just installed Vista Ultimate Edition yesterday and get all the extras. Two of his photos are included with the sample images. The rest are all from Getty Images. Microsoft have the copyright on them...

    I work in Microsoft, so I've been using it for over a year. I have 6 desk machines with Win XP, Vista Enterprise, Vista Ultimate x64 and Win 2003 Server and my favourite is XP. Although there are some nice touches in Vista (e.g. Aero interface, ehm that's it), I recently wiped a system and re-installed XP and I like that better. Vista is fine if you have a suitable system, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it, not at that price...
