lend me your Vista disc? Sorted!

someone kindly lent me their Vista disc so I could finish the desktop PC I'm on now.

I've a nice dual core that I would like to resurrect and just need Vista...?

dont get vista!
how about downloading it?

I just need the disc, then we will worry about whether Vista is any good or not. I just want the comp up and running.

Downloading it is not an option with 0.9 meg broadband speed.

yes but surely by the time someone has sent you it, you couldve downloaded it?

I'd rather just have the disc.

I have Windows Vista and I'd be happy to send you a copy.

However does anyone know:

1. If you can copy the disc?

2. My copy is an OEM edition, so it's for 64-bit processors only and it's Vista Ultimate, would you need a Vista Ultimate Registration code for it to work?

need a code
disc is copiable but id say tricky if you dont know how/without the right programs

Dude how about 7?

I really cannot see the point of using Vista at this point.

I know a chap who copied Vista and installed it (successfully).. worked ok for a bit (wekk or so - ish) however, since he didn't have the licence for it, it locked his pc completely.
The only way he could get it unlocked was to buy a full version of Vista from Microsoft.

I know it's not what you asked for lgf but I would choose XP over Vista and 7 over XP (this is just an addendum to my post - the point of which was to relay an associates experience )
