The bill gates and WinBeta version are RTM while the other found on most P2P applications is indeed fake. And why people keep calling the CD Key Trick a crack is stupid. It is called a "work-around" people, not a crack! That being said there is a real crack out there already. And has been since pre RC2 and it is very easy to find. Hell even Microsoft's live.com will let you know about it. ;) Besides you dont have to worry about getting spyware, virus, etc. You just need to check CRC, MD5, SHA-1 values to know you are getting the real deal since TAP users have already confirmed the info for us. People who state crap like that have no clue and are just trying to scare people. Well, there are three leaked versions of Vista RTM.

Stick to the legal Windows and you won't have to worry about any troubles for the next several years. Especially if you buy a retail copy since you can transfer it from one PC to another each time you upgrade. I mean if Vista is around for 5-years like XP was then that is less than $25 a year.

Jeez. Yes, this is my second rant of the day. Why would people even waste their time with P2P download Vista – god knows what spyware, hacks, codes and tampering has been done to anything off P2P.

It's $110 on Newegg, things don't get cheaper than that, and, come on, how many of you really need the Ultimate features. I am only getting Home Premium (if I ever get it). It suits my needs just fine. I know free is better than a hundred dollars, and MS won't miss the money if a few people pirate, but, let's face it, it's the right thing to do (and you won't miss the money either).

I always find it funny when there are pirated copies of the cheapest versions online though. :) That’s true, but I think most people who pirate Windows will get the cheapest version of Windows with their PC and just pirate Vista Ultimate.

Even if you pirate Vista, at some point you'll have to buy a new computer. In which case most computers nowadays have XP (soon to be Vista) pre-installed. So unless you're a hardcore computer user and you build your own (I recommend doing so) you'll just end up buying it anyway :D I was just thinking about something earlier.
