Hello, Im looking for a cheap version of microsoft windows or vista for a computer i have built. I will be using the computer for study and work and would be greatful if any AAT members knew where I could get either OS cheaply. Would it be cheaky to ask if anyone has a spare product key for an fellow AAT member?
Thanks for the help.

If by 'cheeky' you mean 'illegal', then yes...it would be.
You could sign up for the Windows 7 beta and give that a go, it's free, available from Microsoft's website, and it lasts several months I think.0 -
If you log onto Microsoft website they offer cheapish O/S for computer builders0

Ther was something on hotukdeals within the last couple of months - try a search on there. Good luck (backs out green with envy over the pooter building).0

Try a Linux OS if you want cheap.0

is free and is windows compatible. i downloaded it for my daughter and she uses it all the time with no difficulties

sorry re read your post - you were after OS not a program.0 -

If you are registered as a student with the NUS then you can usually get software for reduced prices.0

You can also get software very cheaply if you work for government departments such as the NHS and the military. Things like Office 2007 for about £18. You can also get Vista. All you need for access is an nhs.uk email address.0

Windows 7 or what ever its called is only £45 for a while..0

I like how we relentlessly offer advice with no further input from the poster.
But maybe Christopher cannot without an OS!0 -
Hi I would like to thank all of you for your replies, and sorry for the delayed reply from myself. I will have a look at linux and Windows 7 trials, I know there is a free 30 day trial available and a beta version for about £45. I also have a friend who works for microsoft and said he can get me a genuine license for windows vista ultimate for £22.
Thanks for all the input.
