1.1 - School Bookstore
10 USD

Other than that lovely price, people pirate it because they dont want to deal with the utter crap vista is. OOOOOO it supports more than 3.5 gigs of ram...so does linux..linux = free, buy Crossover for 15-30 bucks (forgot price) and you have something that runs so many times better than Vista AND no viruses!!

@ 1.1:

Wth are you talking about? windows vista 32-bit has the same memory addressing limit that windows xp 32-bit has. The memory limitation is on the 32-bit architecture, not the operating system. This means that both windows xp 64 bit and vista 64 bit can address more then 4 gigs of memory.

Wait a minute, you still want money from XP. I thought you forced everybody to Vista already.

Even I the sony fanboy already moved to the Vista. Knowing Microsoft, using an OS they no longer support is suicidal.
