Windows Eight

M$ should provide it for free for you having to have put up with vista for so long

Upgrades(which in my opinion is a rip off and rubbish-- really you want the physical media)

Home Premium £99
Professional £189
Ultimate £199

Full version

Home Premium £149
Professional £219
Ultimate £229

These are M$'s official UK prices. You could buy it cheaper elsewhere perhaps?

What gets me if the difference in price between professional and ultimate. Why bother with prof and just pay £10 more
 
I would say that home was perfectly fine for any normal user

Neil. What happens if you wish to reinstall? do you get to download a copy and use the key again?

EDIT: Am I missing something. is this on DVD? I had thought it was some kind of download

Not sure Restless, but I think you can ask for the disk, I did once, but it is a while ago and can't remember what it was now, but it was to do with Windows

Its says its a DVD but I know nothing about the upgrade process or how you prove you have a legit copy of Vista sorry
 
I guess it just integrates all your old files and updates the old system. A slightly different installer on the dvd perhaps? The fact they justify having to pay £50 more for a 'full' version is mystifying me

hmm proving legit copy. Key is on the laptop right? most likely that key that isn't rapidly used by 1000's of IP Addresses via distributed copied versions and who in their right mind would install vista now?

My last 3 computers have been Dell, and they always includ the DVD I have Vista, 7 and the one before that,
 
I suppose its ok to download a of 7 from somewhere if you reinstall it if dell didn't provide you with a disc? the product key should be included on the tower or desktop somewhere. Unfortunately you cant use the vista key on 7 :( but m$ should allow that for for the mistake that is vista

To my knowledge Restless Dell always supply a disk when you buy a computer, I fact I've lent mine to some AW members so they could reinstall on their systems
 
yeah I got vista home with my laptop... haha I gave it away and don't want it back.


My digicam doesn't like my memory card so I can't make a video(and they want £130 to fix my htc sensation :mad: )

but here is a pretty good video demonstrating windows 8

Demo: Windows 8 Consumer Preview - YouTube

Thanks for that Rob - really wanted to watch the video but the guy was speaking so fast I couldn't follow what he was saying! Sounded like a record played at the wrong speed.

BTW I'm glad you didn't leave Accyweb as you threatened to - as I said before, think you have a lot to contribute. :)
