ummm, vista does not have any "anti-piracy" protection as M$ only cares about not pirating their shit.... so if your copy is legit, everything else under that is cool. And just some food for thought, 4 years later after XP and its still not bug free, don't think for a second Vista will be flawless from the gate. And putting another OS or replacing your OS on your PC can be a headache, but it also be easy, so not every situation is the same.... But once again, if you have pirated programs, M$ can't do anything about it anyway, so no worries.

Good luck. and for games, it is not as bad as everyone says, its not the greatest.... so good luck
PaRanOiD81 Reviewed by PaRanOiD81 on . ok this sucks... (skink and other comp people, help me) the pc i'm going to be getting has vista on it (a couple days ago it came wtih xp media center) so... i need some facts here.. is there some imbedded anti-piracy bullshit on vista? is there any reason that would make xp better then vista, or vice versa? i really need to know if i'm going to have to get a copy of xp, or just to keep vista? also (skink since you do this all the time) how hard is it to put an OS on a comp? is it a simple process, or can it get complicated and Rating: 5
