I know, I know, why?

I have a desktop I built about a year ago that was pretty hot at the time (and still ain't too shabby). Got a new HP laptop with Vista and I have to say, I love it. It's been working very well for me and I think it's great.

Now I want Vista on my custom comp but would like to not pay (much) for it. I know awhile back MS did one of those things where they would give you Vista if you went to a seminar. No deal in Las Vegas.

Anybody know where/how I can get free (or near free) Windows Vista??? Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated! Happy New Year All!

p.s.: not a student.

If you're not a student, and you don't work for a company that has a Home User Program, then no, there are no current deals to get it for anything close to free. Sorry.

Edit: For some reason, you can send PM's but not accept them. No, I've never heard of the thing that you mentioned in PM. Please tell me more about it.

I like vista on my laptop... but i like having XP on my desktop even more... Vista is just a little to bloated for me, again works great on my laptop.

If i were you i'd keep XP on desktop

And the person is looking for a deal, and not start another XP vs. Vista battle. There are plenty of those threads in the Tech Support forum.
