But, please. There is no need to contact me to ask me how much Vista
costs, or to tell me that, if I was a student, I could get a student
discount, or to suggest that MSDN offers subscriptions so maybe I just
missed the Vista that came with my supposed MSDN subscription.
I was hoping that there might be a company out there somewhere with a
legally transferrable copy of Windows Vista who would be willing to
donate one to me. Given the lack of any replies, that is apparently not
a possibility.
Live and learn.
