How much should Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit cost?

Whats the best price I could find Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit for?

It seems very expensive at the moment but need a license? I have been running it in 30day trial mode but have found it really good compared to some people opinions.

I also run Ubuntu 8.10 but still need windows for decent games.

Cheers

Look for the oem version on the overclockers website

I know sounds like stupid question im sure I have paid a little as £65 for Vista Home Premium in the past, just seems more expensive now?

Weak pound and unfavorable exchange rates for imported goods maybe. Certainly affecting the price of components, not sure if it's the same for software like this.

Maybe try the beta of Windows 7 and see if that's any good for you. Then get that instead, as it's getting nearer release.

This. IMO it's not a good time to be buying a new copy of Vista.

True and I do as this expires soon and has my games on here. Ubuntu is good for everything else though.

When is Windows 7 expected to be released?

You can get another 90 days trial period, so you can save up for it.
rearm vista.
