VISTA

Post by bignasty »

well kids, being that i now live in the big city of lex vegas and that i was bored at midnight tonight i drove myself over to the COMP USSR and purchased a copy of vista ultimate upgrade, and i must say they spent all their time designing the packaging, if it works anything like the packaging it should be hard as hell to get into but nifty once you get the damn thing open... pics to follow in the morn, as for now, sleep!

I already have a good copy of XP Pro so yeah no reason in spending $200 more!! If you want to format your drive just install a fresh version of XP Pro and then install the upgrade!!!! Takes a little more time but saves alot of money
