If anyone wants it, I have a copy of Vista Ultimate, never been opened. It'll take you a week to patch it, of course, but if anyone would like it, drop me a PM.
How much do you want for it Rik?
Nothing, Griff, it's just been sat on the desk gathering dust ever since MS gave it to me - I figured it was time to clear some space.
I'll take it off you hands if that's ok?
Obviously if someone else comes along and they have a greater need for it then give it to them instead.
PM me your address, Griff, and I'll get it in the post next week.
Brilliant :)
Giving away a free copy of an MS OS on Christmas Eve, and only one person wants to take, even then it seems begrudgingly :)
Sorry - it just made me smile.

:lol:
Next year, I'll be offering DOS6. ;D
I've got a copy of Windows 3.1 if anyone wants it. ;D
I suspect I may have, Ray, plus WordPerfect for DOS. :)
I have Amiga Workbench OS somewhere.
We should organise a car boot sale. ;D
If you've got old hardware lying around I reckon you should try selling it to the US Department of Defense as they've just built a cluster of 1760 PS3s http://www.neatorama.com/2010/12/01/us-air-force-builds-supercomputer-with-1760-playstation-3-consoles/
;D
I offered them a BBC Micro but they turned it down, Mitch.

I don't need a car boot.
You should always have a spare, just like with routers. ;D

Begrudgingly? I don't think so..
Ensuring no-one else with a greater need missed out - Yes..

Ebuyer seemed to be giving away free copies of Windows 7 with any barebone system. I was tempted to get a £200 system just for windows 7, then sell the PC on. :P
Oh, and two years ago I saw a copy of Microsoft Office for DOS for sale in a charity store. It was on floppies, and up at £30. :slap:

I have to ask though Rik, how did you get a free copy of Windows out of MS?
He probably had Bill Gates to dinner. ;D

I took part in the beta stage, Mitch.
