You're not going to get the answer you want to hear on this forum.

No discussion of pirating.

You need to pay for it. Downloading it is illegal. If you want a free OS use linux.

All copied versions are now flagged to the US Army.

They break down your door, kick your dog, urinate on your PC and have their way with your siblings.

More than fine. Whats your system like? Do you have 2gb of ram? Thats kind of necessary for vista gaming.

scezy · 13 Dec 2008 at 23:04

Yes. You need 64bit for your ram, and xp is getting old and vista will fly on your new system.
