Hey guys, I recently installed windows vista hp 32bit on my system, I found it was just as fast as xp and i recommend anyone still on xp with a deasent pc to give it a go. But windows says I have to activate it. I don't have a key because I just borrowed the disk to see what vista is acctualy like. Does anyone have a legal vista key and disk. (oem is fine) I will pay 50euro inc postage if anyone does. Thanks

edit: lmao, after it told me to activate window i clicked activate later and it set the date to 12969 (for the year) Strange..

You can't ever move OEM to another machine so you can't sell/buy it separate from the motherboard.

Windows XP costs €129 if you choose the option to buy it during authentication.
