Can someone confirm these copies fall under the retail License of Vista? As stated on the back of the sleeve:

This copy of Windows Vista is intended for the recipient's Personal use. Do not lend or make illegal copies of this software. This kit and its contents are not for resale. For use on one computer or device.

This means that it can be installed on whatever PC I choose as long as its only installed/active on one PC at a time, correct? Its only going to be installed on this PC for about a 6 months until I build a new one then it will go to the new baby.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to beg here.

If anyone would rather switch their copy of Vista for my Office 2007 Pro, PLEASE let me know. I just got a new system and desperately want Vista on it thats legit.

I'd be able to ship my envelope thing to you or just tell you the key and the download site if wanted.

I mean, Office 2007 pro costs more if any of you are actually planning to sell theirs on ebay or something :p

Anyway, if anyone is interested please contact me either through PM or through AIM: h0lycr4pitseric

Sure you can't, but people do anyway.

Hell, take a look at ebay. The auctions for these PowerTogether things are already there.

Some auctions selling Vista Business were deleted. I wouldn't be so sure about eBaying it ... if Microsoft starts going after them full time, it's game over.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
