Vista Prices (UK)

I have used the Windows Vista Advisor tool and my sound card, belkin wireless card and a few other pieces of equipment don't have drivers out for Vista yet (maybe because its not released yet!) so i'm going to leave it alone for a while. My brother has a free Vista upgrade on his laptop when it comes out so i always have that option to tinker around on that to see if i like it! But for now i'm not totally convinced.
 
i get a free upgrade so its not too bad for me but that is a bit of a pisstake paying 50 - 80% more then the us
 
im guessing that your free upgrade is because you have recently purchased a system, and it had the "vista ready" label on it?

If this is so, the version of vista you will be able to upgrade to will most likely be home basic. This version of Vista, is the most cut-down of them all. The main drawback is that you will not get the "aero glass" feature that vista is known for with its nice GUI effects.

Oh, well, in that case, better not get it then.
